West Central Wisconsin | That's off a Badger silo unloader. Very slow and if used a lot input shaft should be horizontal as mentioned. We fill ours with JD Multi-luber or corn head grease would work also as the input shaft seal may start to leak. The case is vented through the red threaded plug and being mounted outside, (ours), tends to take in water and if we forget to drain in the fall it will freeze up. Have some way to stop the winch because with just a hand crank it will take off if you let go of it, BTDT. For raising our unloader I use an old hydralic motor with two "weld-a-sprocket" hubs welded together to match the motor and the 3/4" input shaft. It takes about 10 minutes to raise it 60 feet and it will easily hold 120 feet of 3/8" cable. Joe | |
