    Winch Teardown Q

    Looks like my new seal is a little different than yours (and from my old ones as well). I'm actually doing 2 winches at once and the other one has a seal similar to yours, without a raised edge.

    Winch Teardown Q

    Does this seal go in just as I have it sitting? Edit: I figured it pretty much HAD to so I went ahead and pressed it in.

    Winch Teardown Q

    Keeping the worm gear in the bearing it was already in, I pressed both out and inserted the drive shaft / big gear. Then pressed the worm gear / rear bearing assembly back in and pressed the other side bearing on. Like butter. Used old bearings of the same size as spacers for the arbor press.

    Winch Teardown Q

    OK the worm gear is back in with both bearings. Man this is pretty frustrating when the TM is just plain wrong. First, above, it told me to put the worm gear in first. THEN--have a look at frame 7 attached here. All the text is about the gearcase cover (the big round disc that covers the end...

    Winch Teardown Q

    This was great advice, worked like a charm--thank you. The new bearing sleeve is in. NOW, on to the part where I'm inserting the drive shaft with its big brass gear into the housing end with the worm gear. Per the TM I've got the rear bearing in and the worm gear pressed into that.

    M200A1 hub / drum assembly

    Wow, old thread. I ended up giving the whole axle assembly to a scrapper. Not the brightest move, in hindsight, but the missus was sick of it on the lawn. Can't blame her, I was too.

    Winch Teardown Q

    I haven't worked on these winches for a while but I'm getting to the point of re-assembly. I've noticed, though, that one of the bushing-type bearings inside the drum is fairly scored. The TM shows these as removable but I'm not immediately seeing how...
