You can see the holes in the chassis where the winch was mounted and I am assuming you are refering to the crossmember with what appears to be a winch cable roller attached? If you look further forward of the diff you can see the flat crossmember has winch rollers on it as well and on a 'normal' winch truck this would be at the rear of the chassis like on the Gun Tractors. Keith (and others) would have a better knowledge of whether it is a genuine all original piece or not and in the correct position for a portee but I have attached a copy of the F60L (no winch) lube chart which shows the chassis layout.
