Just thought I would do a little update. I got both motor mounts made and motors mounted on the frame made the control box and got most of the electrical components mounted. The power lift on the head works great my right arm is already feeling better! As for the power feed its still a work in progress. Still haven't got the wiring quite figured out. My  speed controller is not setup to control the ground like previously posted. But here are a few pics.

Can I replace the remote control cable on a 12000 lb. Warn winch with a simple toggle switch. I would like to have the switch mounted beside my log trailer winch so I don't have to hook and unhook every time. Thanks

Yes, you can add the toggle switch to the system. I have one on my 4 wheeler with a double pole, double throw on a 3500 lb winch. The contacts burned up and the dealer wanted $ 300 for a replacement system, I found one on E-bay for $14. My system had no other parts, it just reverses the polarity to the motor. That being said your 12000 lb winch would require a lot heavier switch to handle the amperage required. How ever, I would assume that your system all ready has that taken care of and you could add the toggle switch to the system (box) where the remote system plugs in and use the toggle or remote cable if done properly. One other option is to get a wire less remote for the winch to replace the current hard wire system, they are great as well. I have one of those on a winch that can be hooked to my trailer for snatching up things like lawn mowers that do not run, it's nice to be able to steer the mower and control the winch at the same time. The most important thing is to also add a fuse to the power line to protect every thing.. learned that the hard way, stalled the winch and nearly burnt up my tractor.

Yep what he said. My 12k warn winch all the remote has in it is a toggle. The relay is on top of the winch.

Thank you all. That will be my next project after I finish the cedar I'm sawing up now.
We got several trees to go get if it ever dries up enough.
