Sorry to pop this one, Art,
According to the "Fine Manual", as in: "Read the Fine
Manual", front mounted winches aren't supposed to have
fairleads. Using the front-mounted winch in anything
but a straight-ahead pull will put too much stress on
the steering components.
The sides of the winches on the M-135/211 will cause
the cable to slide up and over the winch drum foiling
any attempt to pull from the side, but even a fairlead
will not let the cable wind up evenly acrossed the
drum, it will bunch up on the side and jam.
