Xtremeteam:
my mate has 1 on his challange truck,if you phone superwinch they wont know anything about them as its pre computerisation,AFAIK its about 25 years old +,with a slight adjustment on the slipper clutch it will pull 5 tons + in faster than a 8274 will free spool out,

Thanks Mike. How do you adjust the slipper clutch?

Hi its a Fairey winch ive have one exactly the same on the front of my forward control, it now runs off the pto from a series box via shafts along the side of the sump using two uj joints, it used to run on hydraulics but the motor part packed in! and im still looking for a replacement! but the shaft drive works just as well, it is very strong winch and would pull a 110 out of the sticky stuff no problem mate.
The plate on top says;
Min cable 8mm. Mine has 13mm cable, 100ft long fitted..
Sheer pin 45 lb ft. this can be changed to suite cable diameter, and saftey in use but its a pain to fit.
Working load 5000 kg.
Theres an additional SWL plate fitted from company who used it to protect over use by employees!
750 kg straight from drum at 30 degrees.
1200 kg straight from drum vertical.
I also have a fitting and use manual for it.
hope this helps.. :wink:
