RE: winches
I just finished 2 Delco starters. I have the retriever finished. The winch is just started. I only put ball bearing on the load end and left the brush end plain. Roger I may have to build that resister for the retriever. I have not actually used it yet but I retrieved a 20 oz plastic bottle full of water about 900 feet in about 10 seconds. That seems way too fast. I used a belt drive(1.8 inch pulley on starter and 14 inch on the reel). I hope to finish the winch in a couple of weeks. I will post pics and results then.
