This is for all the guys that use bolts,roll pins,hair pins or any other item not a shear pin. This what could happen.I spoke with Memphis Equipment today,they said this is the most common part that they sell for winch repair.$311.00 plus shipping buys alot of shear pins. I bought this used, and it had an old style yoke on it with a roll pin in it.anybody have a good used gear around?

Wow, That bronze bull gear is a pretty massive piece. I would have though failure would occur in the pto before that gear would fail.

you think $311 is bad, i had a friend use a bolt once and he didnt break the bull gear, but rather the u joint broke at the winch end and the shaft started flailing around and managed to take out his radiator. water was coming out faster than you could fill it

Derby,
I might have extra parts but I have to go through my winch before I sell the spare one. I will not get to checking the winch out until middle of summer at the soonest. I can drop you a line when I get done to see if you still need it. I might be able to get to it sooner but the daily drivers have been taking my time lately.

SOLD OUT! Beware of some pins offered for sale. I got a steel clevis pin from Memphis before I lucked into the real ones.
