I'll go back into the fray.

My condolences to all his family and friends.

I have the level wind bolted on temporarily I need the correct bolts to hold trolley in place. It didnt come with them. I'm also have an issue with the swivel grease nipple. I also will need to relocate the tensioner once I can locate one. I have some holes to drill and some other fabrication...

I spent all of yesterday rebuilding level wind assembly. I use Krud cutter to remove rust and put all new grease nipples, made my own packing for bearings and swivel,and filled with Lucas green grease. I still have more to do.

Welcome from Florida.

Here another video of winch operating for the very first time enjoy guys. https://youtu.be/fykQJLyPU6Y

As promised here is an update on the install still a lot to do enjoy. https://youtu.be/kRmymAOfEa8

I will have to locate one as of now just have the level wind.I ll make a video tomorrow of progress the rollers on bumber are flipped back to the downward position. I ll get it up asap.

Ok guys I found a level wind assembly does need some work I have it torn down for rebuild. I will get a video up of my progress soon.

I take good care of my truck I don't beat the pi** out of it like some Craigslist mud junk or hot rod it. I ll upgrade things if and when they need it. I wouldn't do this mod if I wasn't confident in my ability to maintain the truck this next year makes 7 years I've owned it ups and downs...

Ok guys here's an update video still a lot of fabrication work to be done. I will probably upgrade the front wheel cylinders when I install the upgraded wheel seals and new knuckle boots. https://youtu.be/9eRnKLybe7Y

No I thought that would be too much work for what I want it for. I am not going to put those rollers back on and am looking at lighter options for my front bumper. That winch is so much lighter without the rollers installed. I am entertaining a lot of ideas.

My son and I cleaned up all the winch parts yesterday. I ordered 2 worm gear seals and 2 bearings from Car Quest. I just have to assemble it and figure out mounting and if need be I ll make up a small drive shaft and mount a bearing carrier if I need to angle the PTO shaft. I still have lots to...

Here's a video of my progress. https://youtu.be/bN3dMCb5PNM

I think I'll be ok as I'm not gonna use the Rollers and at some point gonna use a different bumper. I'll post a video in a bit of where I'm at with the winch.

I know but got a good deal on it only need to change the worm gear bearings and seals. I don't think Im going to use the stock rollers they weigh almost as much as the winch so a huge weight savings there. I just can't find those bearing and seal numbers in the TM I have.

I work with my winch want the level wind feature.

Ok after some winch wrestling I finally have the winch apart. It had some water in it so have to change the worm gear bearings and lower seals. Does anyone have part numbers for those and can I get them at Napa?

Ok I have started to disassemble winch. I can not get the side cover off of the worm drive side of the case?

I just found the TM for the winch after some more searching Heres the link. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/upload/5Ton/TM9-3830-501.pdf
