Finn Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Hi guys, I need to order some parts for a fairey drum winch (see photo). I believe the part is called an adjustment nut (part 1 in the picture). The other thing would be the lock washer (number 2 in the image). What also would be of interest all the bearings and gaskets (and shear pins). Basically everything you would need to make a full restoration. I might have forgotten some parts. Feel free to point them out to me. Are these things still for sale somewhere? If so, is there a store where I can order all of these parts in one order? (as I do not live in the uk, it would help if I can place 1 order for all the parts needed to safe on shipping costs) Cheers, Finn ps. I just found the manual, see here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 I tried them but got this as a feedback: Thank you for your enquiry. I am sorry to tell you that this winch is completely obsolete. We have not produced this winch for 20+ years and we have no parts at all for these winches. Sorry we could not help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effortless Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Hi Finn, as your reply from Superwinch says, this is an old winch and you are unlikely to find spare parts for it on anyone's shelf. I know, as I have 2 of these winches, and have tried to rebuild one without success. There are various threads about this process which you have probably seen but I'll include the links here... http://www.series2club.info/forum/index.php?topic=37510.0 http://www.series2club.info/forum/index.php?topic=34091.0 http://www.series2club.info/forum/index.php?topic=20150.0 I have seen a thread on one of the forums about a company called PG Winches, which has apparently been resurrected from the old company when the owner died, by what seems to be an old employee. However I can't find the link at the moment... sorry!! Will post when I find it. Ah!! Found it!! http://web.ukonline.co.uk/jpgordon13/x9.htm I think the only way you are going to find spares for this winch is to find alternative parts that might fit, for example this should be relatively easy with things like oil seal and bearings from a good bearing and seal dealer. The bearings should have a part number on them, and any bearing supplier should be able to locate equivalents easily for you. If they can't try another one!! For specialist parts I would think you're going to have to make it yourself or repair what you already have. I have about 10 of the shear pins you mention in your original thread, and I can give you the exact dimensions if you want, but without knowing the alloy used for these (looks like brass of some sort), these measurements are meaningless. Most people just use a mild steel bolt and hope for the best (not very safe, but this is sometimes the only way that these winches can be used). Some info you may find useful, an extract from one of the Superwinch manuals... And how the shear pins look... Gaskets are easy, just buy some gasket paper and make your own, or use some form of instant gasket... not ideal, but needs must if you want the winch to run. There is someone on the Series 2 Club forum who has recently rebuilt one of these winches, and offered me plenty of advice. He is a truck mechanic, and has fabricated and modified his own winch. PM me if you would like his details And finally, my other winch is in pieces, and you are welcome to any parts you might need, if they are in useable condition. I had a look at you photo, but couldn't identify which parts you needed. Quote me a part from the user manual (which incidentally looks like mine that I scanned and posted!!). And just as an encouragement, here's a video of my winch finally working!! Hope that some of this helps, Cheers, Effortless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Thanks for all the info! I have tried to mail PG, but their email address doesn't exist any more. So I think they are out of business. Cheers, Finn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 could anyone post the sizes of the bearing which should be in front of the adjustment nut? On my winch this bearing is 'half gone' I need the sizes in order get a new one. Cheers, Finn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
