Never played with one, but I studied the TMs on
how they're set-up because I wanted to setup such
a winch on my M35 or M813 for loading vehicles in
the bed.
The winch attaches to the frame rails with a pair
of adaptor channels of steel, not unlike how the
front winch mounts, just higher up. The PTO
connection is a rear driving PTO (there are
single and dual PTO units) that drives the rear
winch shaft to a pillow block and then the shaft
terminates on a sprocket. The Winch is driven on
it's input with another sprocket of course and a
chain from the driving sprocket. The -20 and -34
manuals show this quite nicely for the 5 ton
trucks.
