    Really good info guys That DID have me confused.. See picture of winch control placard. I have a single lever for the PTO. Its really sloppy. This I believe is what really got me in trouble to begin with and I didn't have second person to watch. Still working on finding that manual.

    Thank you for this info. Ok at 29:1 that is a lot of cranking with my ratchet at 1/2 turns. I cranked 5 or 6 -1/2 turns so that wasn't near enough. Now that its broke loose there is not much resistance. If I put a impact on it will that damage it? I also have a 1/2 battery drill. I could put...

    The hook is still caught around the steel horizontal brace across the back of the winch. Its in a impossible location to get to with any kind of prybar. Several people have tried. I got enough rotation so the cable is relaxed but not enough to get the hook unhooked. With everything now...

    Update. I made a shaft adapter. I went shopping in scrap box. Found a cut off hyd cylinder rod end that worked good. I had to bore out the center to fit over the input shaft. Then drill a hole for the shear pin. Then welded on a big 1 5/16 bolt head. The bolt shaft was all buggered up...
