Got it all back together and new rope on. The top channel is still a little kinked, but I ran out of time to build a new one. The back channel I built went on nicely and the new rope and end make a huge difference.

Thanks for the help guys, particularly the drawings @gringeltaube. I got the winch rebuilt, replaced the rear c-channel with a new one I built (the old one had stretched nearly an inch, so even after hammering/pressing it back into shape, it couldn't be reused), lubed everything up with cornhead...

Got it off pretty easy and started taking it apart. Thought you guys might enjoy seeing how bent everything is. Gonna see if I can hammer it all back out and get it together. Does anyone still make/sell pets for these? There are some pretty beat up parts that might be easier to replace than to...
