Mighty kind of you sir!! I started padding up the center section today. Coming along nicely.. I think itll be close to 100% functional again.

Here’s a shot of the LU 4 winch before bottom repairs. And after. Really dirty aluminum case was tricky to TIG up w all the oils in pores but I have solid penetration. Now there’s a solid lug to use. Need to get the middle bore bushing out then rebuild the shoulder inside.
