Arghhh! Gringeltaube, Thanks for the instructions. I should have caught that and have had the non-gear end apart several times when installing the seals and the actuator shaft. I will do it one more time. I have been working on this for several months as you know and never have more then a...

Can I pull gear end of winch off to replace the drum seal without removing the gears? :whistle:I'm wanting to replace the drum seal on the drive end of my winch and want to know if the whole end of the winch can be removed without removing the ring and worm gear first? The manual says to...

Shaft is out :) I got the shaft out. Looks to me to be bent and twisted! I'm looking for a replacement and some seals so I can put it back together. Thanks for the assist on the removal directions. Sorry about the mis-location of my posts. I hate computers! ballencd

Another Question About Disassembly of the M35 Winch ...Please: I am trying to remove the shaft that controls the winch clutch on the right side of the M35 front winch. I think it may be twisted as I cannot get it to lock in anywhere near the detents on the handle. I have the set screw out of...

Gringeltaube, Hello again, First chance to try again today. I found a straight slot plug on lower passenger side housing of winch that I think is the brake drag adjustment cover but I could not get it to budge. I suspect I will have trouble getting every bolt out of the aluminum as I did the...

Gringeltaube, Thanks for the quick response! I bent my punch in the CW test and will try the brake loosening trick before I proceed. The post you referred me too was helpful and interesting. Thanks for finding it as I looked but had no success. I'll let you know how I fare when I get a...

Troubleshoot M35 Winch Problem Guys, I have a question and maybe a problem. I purchased a used M35 winch about 8 years ago planning on putting it on my M35 which has since been converted to a dump with one rear axle. I was told the truck it came from had been rolled and he parted out the...
