In case anyone is looking at installing a Bamford winch on a Series III, it is not a straight drop in. This was on my ex-mod civilian SIIi 88:, RHD.

Here is what fits as per specification:
1) The main winch on the breakfast.
2) The chain case on xfer case pto.
3) T handle and linkage for shifting in and out.

Here is what does not fit on my Series III (note, can be remedied):
1) Chain case fouls with exhaust bracket. Not the easy one to bend but the welded on bracket just behind gear box cross member. We ended up cutting it off as it was not working.
2) Chain case ujoint fouls with exhaust pipe. I am not sure if the routing of my exhaust is stock or not, but with about 1" more of bend it, I can clear it.
3) Drive shaft to Drive shaft ujoint fouls with rear engine mount. This one bummed me out the most. We checked and found out that if we swap the longer shaft to the front, then it all clears the engine mount.
4) The rear drive shaft fouls with the clutch slave pipe. I will buy some longer tube as there is plenty of room between the shaft and starter motor to bend it away.
5) Oops, forgot, the chain case output ujoint also fouls with the frame/body mounting bracket. We ground the rear side down as much as we could without 'comprimising" it's ability. It's my son's 90lb weight that sits on that side, not my lard a$$.

Unfortunately, I was not able to get the winch in working order this weekend as I was at the cottage and lacked (and forgot) a few critical tools to complete the task. The exhaust was the other big one as I do not have the equipment nor expertise to bend it. So she will go into the shop for that.

In the end, we have the rear chain case installed and it can be engaged and works. The winch itself is installed and bolted in. The lifting rings did not need to be ground down as specified in the manual.

I am confident it will succeed!
