It had a fiction brake to hold it in place. It worked great for lifting compared to hand cranking. Gary [Reply]   [No Email]

If I do either, I will utilize the hand crank that's already there as it has the automatic brake on it, don't have to crank it back up a notch after lowering to set it or anything. It's an 8x71 [Reply]  [No Email]

I forgot to say we re fitted the old hand crank winch back on when we did the conversion. It was one like yours that didn't need turning back to lock it. good luck and I hope it works good for you.
