bottjernat1 2,190 #3 Posted January 20, 2020 Welcome. Might try a small electric winch from like harbor freight. They also sell a bracket kit for there winches https://www.harborfreight.com/2500-lb-atvutility-electric-winch-with-wireless-remote-control-61840.html might be a bit extreme but would work. Or a simple thing try greasing on the pivot points real good use a real good grease and some pb blaster! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
