You have a CCU unit. It is designed for use with a cable pull scraper. It releases by pushing the handle away from the operator and the weight of the pan or the gate pulls the cable out. They do not lock in the release position. They are not designed for heavy pulling. You are all set to pick up an old cable scraper and have some real fun. The winches are pretty simple but can be dangerous to adjust if not using the proper procedures. Do a search on old posts under CCU units and there is lots of info about them.
Looks like a fun unit you have. Enjoy it.
It looks like you have a #24 Front mount CCU on this tractor as well, if the control lever on the right side of the seat is connected to it.
I see the dozer blade on your earlier post.
Good looking tractor and brush top.

Please find manuals before attempting adjustments to either the front or rear CCU as something you don't know CAN hurt you. Best of luck, the tractor looks really good in the photos. I would advise you if I could, but my last experience with CCU's was 1980 and I no longer have manuals.
guys, thanks again for reply. There is a lifting type winch or apparatus I suppose inside the nose and it is operated by a handle on my right when seated (apart from the two handles going to rear winch). I'll post a few more pics for better clarity next few days. I sure don't plan to attempt adjusting / messing with that winch. I'm using some pretty heavy chain and doing some tree dragging. Not really need badly the winch. It would be nice but seems if it only goes one way if there were a loop or hook on the end it would really jarble up and rack itself getting wound up inside the unit. Again all thank you for visiting..
Johnny J,
What we are telling you is the rear mounted cable control is NOT a logging winch, it is for operating the dozer or for operating a carryall scraper, which requires two spools of cable.
It looks like you have a real nice tractor there, and there are plenty of good guys on this site that will give you good advice.
The main caution about adjusting the cable control units is to not attempt to adjust them with the engine running. And always lower the blade before attempting to do anything, period.
The rear CCU is able to be locked free, try pushing the control lever away from you it will hold in the brake off position, the cable to these CCU's is only 1/2"Dia with around 2.5 ton line pull built for use with implement powering not heavy winch work, nice banger by the way I have a 3T myself the engine speed is something you will get to love.
