I am exchanging a brake winch with a worm gear 1500 winch. any advice on how to mount the worm gear winch. Is the hex drive on right or left side of pole?

I have gourds. I placed a 4x4 post about 4' from the pole and mounted my winch on it so when I lower my rack its not coming down on me. I also mounted a pulley on the steel post so my cable can make a 90* turn to go to the winch. This works very well.
