Superwinch H14 stripdown

(1/2) > >>

oakeedokee:
Does anyone out there know how to strip down a pto driven H14 Superwinch? Rather than send it off to the likes of PG Winches, I thought I'd have a go myself ('cos I'm a cheapskate and also if you don't have a go yourself then you never learn anything).
 The freespool mechanism shaft has broken and I need to replace it. I got as far as taking the end plate off the drive end, but couldn't work out how to remove the gear assembly to access the other end where the freespool components live. Anyone got any ideas?

Sharpshooter:
Hi i did this earlier, but they dont seem to be much help. Sorry.

comments: Hi i have a h14 super winch, and the freespool mechanism shaft
is broken :( . I need to replace it, but i cannot find any instructions on
how to do it.  :x I have looked for some professional help on the matter,
but noone seems to have the knowledge. Would it be possible please, to
e-mail me some instructions on how to repair my own winch. :D  I would
really appreciate this. Many Thanks Wayne. :D  :)  :o

From SUPERWINCH.COM

We don't really have any "repair instructions" for any of our winches.
Basically all you can do is follow the winch parts breakdown which is
not the easiest approach. Other than that, I'd recommend you find a
local hydraulic repair shop or send the winch in to us.

oakeedokee:
Thanks Kevin, got your e-mail by the way. I've worked out how to get the end casing off with help from another forum. It's simply a case of whacking it with a rubber mallet 'til it comes off. My freespool mechanism is the same as yours with a mushroom shaped knob sticking out the side. I have spoken to Superwinch (who were actually quite helpful), but they don't manufacture this type any more so they are sending me a complete freespool mechanism of the newer lever-type to replace my existing one. The clutch on the pto can be set using a torque wrench. I'll e-mail the details to you.
