long weekend project, track winch.

[Lew Skelton]

Hi Marc, I'm no expert but believe these winches were only used on Kiwi and Aussie carriers, most likely a Kiwi design hi jacked and used across the Tasman. For your question about the l shaped rod, its held on the side by the round headed thumb screw when not in use, it is used in conjunction with the big hook when taking up the slack in the track, big hook goes thru the track and rod is poked into a hole in the hook preventing hook from disengaging with track. I would post some photos but after looking for two days for my camera my darling wife says I left it on the roof of the car..... Found camera today, about 200 meters up the road, flattened.
