    The pinout connections are easy to find. I would cut the plug off the cord and hard wire the receiver to the relay.
    This would give a cleaner look and keep the wiring out of the way.
    With the long cord it could be mounted in the grill. There are plenty of other options to get a remote and some
    have 2 controllers. Hot+ Grd.- Power in and Power out for the receiver. Be aware that Warn used a couple of
    different plugs and wiring colors. Always verify connections.

    Thinking on this a little more. If you decide to hardwire the receiver, an insulated toggle switch breaking the
    red wire to the receiver and located in an easily accessible location, may be a good idea. Cuz China.

    Cutting the cord echoes the instructions for use of the receiver on the smaller Traveller winches. If this pans out I will definitely have hard wired in-cab controls and an isolation switch for the receiver.

    14 &1/4 hrs left and still winning with the first bid I entered. Doing a lot more research on what I think it needs and costs to get it working and installed so I can make a decision on my final walk away number...

    So far I know it needs gutted and cleaned. It Does not have any remote, will likely need Bushings, brake lining, couple solenoids (i figure 2 new to have confidence for power in.
    I have a coworker that can give advice on the motor, local motor and alternator shops, the cables and wire rope will need replaced. I found the mounting plate link earlier today, still in the air on new poly or steel rope but that's not a decision I need to make right away.

    I hope it works out in your favor and you do a build series on it. It will be a great project at the right price point.
    It has to be the most modded winch ever made.
