Chicago Winch

Southern Ray

Well-known Member
Bought a general purpose winch from Harbor Freight.
Works ok for what I want but it gets very hot, uncomfortable to hold your hand on the motor.
I notice the cable payout speed is faster than the reel in.
Voltage from the battery is good.
I bought a Homier winch several years ago at a traveling sales event.
This winch does everything I want and never gets hot.

Have the urge to open it up and see if the Chinese neglected to grease the gears.

Since it runs faster in payout, something must be binding. It will probably be obvious once it's opened up. Not likely to be repairable.
 
the payout speed is slower than the reel in.
the end of drum cable termination is consistent with wind up direction.
