It is located on the drivers side of the transmission. Here is a picture of what the plate looks like (behind the exhaust pipe) I have picked up several PTOs that bolt onto the side of the transmission, the units I have are made by Chelsea and are used to drive a hydraulic pump via. a short driveline. They could just as easily drive a winch through the proper drivetrain. A short linkage goes to the cab, just press in the clutch, pull on the lever to engage the PTO and ease out the clutch . . . works great!
Life's short - don't waste it.

If you're going to use a capstan-type winch, you'll probably need the type with forward and reverse positions on it. If you can find a winch from an old wrecker, there should be forward and reverse clutches on it, and you can get by with a single-direction PTO.
