Yep that's why it's recommended to do double line pulls... But with a big 6hp who cares?? =)
Okay so I've ordered the 6hp motor, splined input gear to suit, lower housing service kit and the brake service kit.
Should be here in a couple of weeks...
Good work winnie. Be sure to post some pics up of the finished product. I think my winch has seen its last days, even after i redone it last year. I think it need a new motor, made some funny noises when i coiled the rope back on a few months ago. Its like the ZD, it just dont want spend anymore coin on it.
I haven't read, but you obviously got the winch for a good price yeah?
