Tried that, its a T-MAX 13500, brake spring is all twisted up, cant find a replacement even with my aussie contact trying to call T-MAX HQ.

Yep, all good points. There were 2 factors that got me looking at it. 1) a cheap BNIB Warrior hydo was up for sale. 2) i have very limited space for the winch and some electrics didnt fit, the hydro has a smaller 'motor'. But since the deal has disappeared and the comments above, i'll replace with lecky.
-
Except I do already have the powerpack on the truck, as it lifts the cab & body jacks.
-
Yeah will ponder. I have no room for an engine pump. PTO is possible but finding the adaptor for my volvo transfer case is not easy. I should mention its not for competition, but rather self-rescue on my overlander. I could live with slow if it gets me out eventually.

Was just pondering fitting a hydraulic winch to replace my broken 13500 electric. One option is a Warrior, with the following specs. I have a power pack which has 200b 5l/min Now i presume pressure gives the pull force and flow gives the line speed? So will my power pack give the full 10000 but at a slow line speed?

Interestingly when i was pricing up the system, i notived that the Victron multiplus 48v was about 1/2 the price of the 12/24v version, so with a bit of waiting around for a good deal, i bought 16x 105Ah lipos for much less than the cost of a 12v system. -

Will need a decent autonomy if overlanding. 6kW/h is not that high, a lot of overlanders will recommend at least 10kW/h -

A long overdue update. The rear body is on, and I've been working on the interior during the inclement weather. 200l water tank, Truma combi heater/boiler, Victron system with 6000Wh of Lion storage & 400W of solar panels. And the addition today a nice s/h awning. (Sorry about the pics, don't know why the forum rotated them, cant see how to turn back) -
Yeah no way i'm putting that hook in my machine, its s big bugger.

Well thats my brake spring, dont think it should be that shape. I dont even know what shape it should be to try and make one... Problem is i've found it devilshly difficult to get T-max parts. I think Bearmach used to be, thats how i got a motor last time. I've found that BHW do some t-max winches in the UK, bu they dont have spares for this one, and inform me that there have been 2 brake revisions since this, requiring a modded drum π I'm tapping up and aussie contact, as thats where t-max are from. I still dont understand how that could cause freespool though.
-
No, pin is fine and the sleeve is moving correctly. On reassembling its just the item 5 fibre thrust washer i'm confused on, only 1 is shown in the diagram, but i have 2.
-
So mine went clunk and was permanently in freespool. I thought the motor linkange had snapped (it did that before and i had it welded), but no. I took the gearbox apart and everything is fine in there, except some very old packed grease. So I disassebled the GB and washed the old grease out. Bit of a mystery that nothing is broken, but i thought i'd regrease it and reassemble. Which is the point where i wish i'd taken photos. The exploded diagram i have, and several more ive found since dont exactly match my version. I can work out pretty much how it goes, but i have 2 fibre thrust washers which i'm not sure of the correct positions - anyone know? And any ideas why it wouldnt go into drive or brake when nothing is broken inside? (attached the closest diagram i can find)
-
I cant remove the hook, its fitted and i didnt want to deform the rope, thats why i was thinking dishwasher - it'll give a good clean but not twist it up
-
Have given mine a bath in the sink with some fairy liquid, and its got most of the dirt out. Then i stood there an pondered sticking it in the disher washer on a low temp.... Whats the consensus on that?

PLA is not great in harsh enviroments. It degrades / defoms with heat and sunlight. You'd be better using PETG for the final parts. -
The advantage of EP90 is that it also keeps the missus away
