winch

Just got home from picking up a winch that was supposed to be an LU-4. Turns out it's a Gama Goat winch. I got a good deal but don't know much about it. What is the rating, etc. Thought someone here would know. Thanks.

depent on wath's there how complete it is and wath condition it is in the grease or rusted pto ? drive shaft ? a picture if possible would help set the price from 200 to 800 dollars

The Goat winch is rated a 8000lbs.

The rating is more what I was looking for. I was hoping it was a little higher for such a large winch. Thanks.

what all did you get with it? someone might trade up it to sone thing bigger.

After letting this thing sit for a couple months, I've decided to take a closer look. I need some idea of how it operates. The driveshaft won't turn by hand and there appears to be a selector on the driver's side that won't turn either. I'll see if I can get some pics, but a simple "it should turn by hand" or some other advice will help me determine if I need to open it up or not. Thanks, Bill

Any one know where I can get winch parts? Looking for some sort of rebuild/ re seal kit

forgot to ask, what where you going to mount the winch on.? A LU-4 goes on a 715 and is alot more beefer than the goat, even though they are rated the same.

Sorry for the long delay. I'm not mounting it on anything, just want to make sure I know what I have before offering it for sale. I don't want to mislead anyone or let go of it for 1/4 it's value either. I am looking for an LU4 for my M715.
