I had some time yesterday to take my winch off my Foreman to clean her up a lil bit.
It dont take but a min or two to get the winch off. I was goin to take the blue amsteel off and put a grey masterpull rope on there. But the allen set screw is rounded off and so now i dont know what to do.
I went ahead and took the winch completly apart. Got all the gears out and cleaned them with brake and parts cleaner. That stuff hurts when it gets in your eyes!! Got all of them good and shinning. Then got a tube of Premimum grease and got to work. I filled the "gear box" up and put some on the bushings on the drum.
Took the motor apart and got all the water and grit out of it with electrical parts cleaner.
Got it all put back together and bolted back up to my foreman. Turned the switch on and bammm.. That thing is quieter than a mouse now.
i guess they didnt put enough grease in them?
Im supprised the only plastic in this winch is lil spacers for the gears and the T-handle for the clutch.
I love it!
Later guys!
