peter lena 8,716 #26 Posted December 5 @ D MAC , like lucas marine grease , in those bearings , made for nasty applications , would personally get a lubrication soaking going on , while you are planning your recovery stage . like a penetrating oil / mineral oil soak stage , as metal turns a darker shade its showing you the absorption into the issue , picked up a lot of neglected stuff , first step is always lubricant , watch it creep / spread , makes me think , the state has just started pre spraying down the roads , brutal for untreated anything , all my wheel wells , chassis , doors , are all oil slick , no rot , every time I get gas , notice practically new trucks , have fenders flopping , cab doors rotted out , its so easy to prevent that , good luck with your project , pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D_Mac 8,700 #27 Posted December 8 (edited) So I was talking with the guy who rewired and replaced the winch cable. The cable he used is much thinner then the cable that was on there. I was told it had a 1,600lb pulling capacity. I am not sure about the pulling strength of the winch itself. Anyone have any thoughts ? Here is old cable compared to the replacement.

The winch is only as strong as the arm that is twisting it, the pulling power of mine has been severely diminishing over the years. Seriously, I doubt that you or anyone else is going to be able to crank that handle hard enough to break the cable. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are nice heavy duty trailers. When I first got this one, my son took it to haul his 4-wheeler. Yours looks good, you will get a lot of use out of it. Is that a B-110? I picked one up from an estate sale across the street last summer. Think I'm going to name it Pack Rat. When I was tinkering with it to get it running, it kept grabbing shiny sockets and extensions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chip61 664 #31 Posted yesterday at 03:15 PM It's a B112. Old Briggs runs pretty good. If it was a hydro I would use it for mowing. Sandy Lake Implements has some new and used parts for the old Allis/Simplicity tractors. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
