Some of my questions may be obvious to the experienced winch operator, but I'm only trying get a little educated before messing with the 8x8 winch. Most likely, I'll be working it alone, so... The way I understand it is that the great majority of front mounted winches do not have a level wind...

Don't forget that the load in the bed also adds to traction. For max traction carry a full load....

Try this for rearwards pulling, should use all the cable you got. :-)

It's based on the lever principle or mechanical advantage gained by using less cable on the drum.

Both powered.

Hmmm...the idea is to bring the extra (extensions) along with the ends finished as shown below. Simply use it when needed and gain lots of pulling capacity with only one or two layers on the drum. I keep a 50 Ft section of wire rope with thimbles in the truck (thanks Kenny) on my trips for use...

Like it! BTW, in Sweden the BV206 is called "The Weasel" (Vesslan),....used to any way, been a while....

For you experienced winch operators, what is the average amount of cable used? With more than 250 ft available on the drum, it seems like a lot is never used and only serves to decrease the pulling capacity and increase the chances of shearing a pin. Is anybody running, say 100 ft on the drum...

About 7 CFM.

According to this theory, the chain/hook hardware should be 3/8 inch (at right in the image below) for the 10,000 lb deuce winch.... I'm aware of the safety factors, SWL, WLL and breaking strength . Edit: It would be nice to have decals made (Gary Berg?) with the winch capacity as shown in 1st...

This is what I believe should be the real hardware for the 20,000 lb winch, 5/8 inch chain and sling hook plus the correct cable socket.......

The final fuel filter operates with a pressure of 50 to 60 psi, I would suggest that you get some pressure vs flow filter performance data before replacing it.

Okay and thanks for the deuce pin info. A shackle with a 7/8 pin dia (Crosby Group) has a working load limit of 13,000 lb, for example, which matches the deuce winch. Some tables show a higher rating, some a lower, so it's very much a matter of which safety multiplier used. The "Rigging" TM...

Are you not talking "breaking strength" here, the clevises, hooks etc are marked with a "safe working load" (SWL) as should be the winches.

Jon, this is the back side of the jug. (Right click on image and open link in new window to read)

Recycle. This is the current trend: Filters aim to significantly reduce waste levels: News from Parker Hannifin - Filter Division

In the clevis/shackle world, the pin diameter appears to be a measure of its capacity, so accordingly, I'm trying to determine the actual rating of the cable socket/chain/hook assy on both the deuce and the 5-ton winches. The chain/hook on the 5-ton winch is only rated 12,000 lb or so and the...

From NAPA or Carquest...

Could you scan and show us one of those reports? It would show up in the viscosity reading....unless somehow that action Jon described is reversible... Edit: Spelling....
