Front hitch

[Ziegelsteinfaust]

I have a hitch I picked up somewhere for some reason I have long since forgotten.

So I my project 4x4 I would like to modify it to use it as a mount for a winch, and swap in a pintle hook to help pull people out if I need to. The rear would get a hitch too so the winch can be movable or removable which ever is more important at the time to me.

Is there anything I should look out for when I modify the mount then bolt it to the frame? Or should I straight weld it to the frame?
