use the 13, it would be just as easy. why would it be harder. what is the shaft size, it is electric start,

the 13hp is sometimes not worth it... its harder to find parts and when you do find them they tend to be much more $$... there was a guy in europe who built a 13hp winch and decided to downgrade to the 6.5 because the extra hp was unnecessary and the 13 hp engine was just too heavy...

now if you already have the 13hp for free you could definately make a winch from it... it just might take alittle more planning.... the hardest part would be finding a heavy duty clutch and gearing it right... just depends on what you want... its mostly preference
