Hoser, taught that bear its lesson. :P

On my current winch build, got the spline shaft turned down on the ends and the spline coupler and block all cut for the engagement mechanism of the dog, now I need to get into some of the welding.
Oh yeah and need to fabricate a spool assembly and more welding.

Going real smooth but not sure I will be finishing it in any hurry. I'll savor it. Might be the last winch I build, the faimly legacy of winch building, GONE. Thanks Stopher. :x :twisted: :x

Already have all my parts so might as well just build it up, regardless of its legal usefulness.

I was thinking instead of "motorized", how about bicycle powered. :cry: Can be done. Need to loose a little weight anyways. :lol:
