The good news: My M35 operator's manual shows this very A-frame setup as
optional equipment. Attaches to the front bumper, and has a cable that
goes over the cab and attaches to the pintle hook. Just feed your winch
cable over the pully at the top of the A-frame, and you're in business.
The bad news: I've never come across one.
