David Sparkes Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Change the spelling to Mayflower and your search will be more productive. There are existing threads and advice within the forum, although I actually found these via Google. http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=14745 http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=26703 http://web.ukonline.co.uk/jpgordon13/x9.htm This link to Pangolin covers different sorts of period Series winches. http://www.pangolin4x4.com/pangolin4x4/ref...es/winches.html Hope This Helps.

Betsy Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 has anyone any repair manuals on the mayflour winch can you still get parts for them if so from where Hi, the mayflower is still going strong. It was very useful in Morocco, although the engine did overheat a little when using it for extended periods. It is incredibly strong and reliable. I have replaced the steel rope with thick plasma. This was to reduce weight. As asked earlier in the thread, I found the front parabolics were not up to the extra weight of the Mayflower, so upgraded to 3 leaf para's. I had to replace the roller fairlead with an alloy item for the plasma. I was lucky and found an extra wide alloy fairlead at Billing, its the same internal width as the drum. I cut off the rollers, welded some 1/4 " plates in each side of the fairlead bracket, and bolted the alloy version in. It works very well with plasma. So far I broke 2 shear pins. It takes a lot to break one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
