Metal disintegrating machines? THAT sounds kinda cool ... I'd like to see that technology at work ... Have to look into that for my own curiosity (sounds too expensive to apply to a tired old beat up winch, though).
Alright, alright ... your crisis hotline training is working -- I'll put the easy out down and step away from the bench ... Don -- The winch is 62 years old (assuming it was made the same year as the truck). After all that damage to the safety brake cover and the ring gear seal retainer (the mangled piece of aluminum remnants circling the safety brake drum in the picture), I can't wait to see what the ring gear looks like.
Grigg... Your turn.
