Today I finally got to putting on my level winder and tensioner on my M813. Both are not moving freely and oil is not doing the trick. So I will need to dig deeper. I got the tensioner moving again and mounted it. Next I started to take apart the levelwinder. Man! There are a lot of parts in this seemingly simple piece of equipment. all the bearings are packed with hard grease, but no rust. One of the problems is the fiber washers are all breaking apart and some of the shims washers are kind of rusty. I took everything apart and I am soaking all the parts to loosen up the old grease.
Anyone know a good place to get replacement parts for 20,000 lb Garwood winches? I will probable need a some other small parts too?!
