I got tired of trying to get dead tractors and cars on my trailer with HD come-alongs. I decided I was going to mount a 12 volt Warn recovery winch on my trailer. Then I came across an old cast-iron, hand-crank winch at a yard-sale for $50. Best investment I ever made. It is two-speed (by switching crank location).
