If I did not just buy a new motor for the one ton, I'd be all over that. The bollard on mine is pretty worn. 2009 model.

 

[SeanKroll]

Is yours slipping?

Can you recondition it?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Yeah. I have to have my groundie pull down on the rope (1/2") to get it to climb it. I thought about taking it to a fab shop that does aluminum repairs to recon it. But, I'd rather send it to Paul if that's what it comes to. Having a second is often my way.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

With my knee injury, I kind of kneedit

Just wrap the bollard with duct tape...it'll work fine.

 

[lxskllr]

What about a replacement? Does the bollard come off? May be able to just order something, and put it on yourself.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Last time I talked to Paul, a while back, he wanted me to send the unit to him. Puts me with out when I need it. He would replace it, and send it back. I think it was pretty reasonable.

You will need to remember to wrap the tape the correct direction, you know.

 

[SeanKroll]

Some fine, fine grit sand paper on the sheave?

I was thinking of some dremel work or a die grinder. As long as it's smooth enough in the end to not damage the rope. Dunno.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

NO!
Ribs need built up.

Bah, cut em deeper! It'll lower the effectiveness gear ratio, allowing you to haul more useless crap up with you! Lolz.

Those wraptors are super cool, I just need a portable winch WAY more. I'll ask around though, I know some old guys that may be interested @Bodean.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Oi!

 

[SkwerI]

Deva, shoot me your phone number. I may have a buyer for you but he isn't on the forum. Figured I would just put you two together.

The mention of this device my mind goes back when whoever it was,forgot asked for ideas on this forum of what to use to build it ..The last I heard it was successful but not a real money maker.Some other concern was alleged to use the same design and sell it for less causing much consternation .I've never seen one myself . When I wore a younger mans clothes I had worked out of crane baskets ,climbed bare steel like a monkey .Too freakin old for that stuff now and never trusted a skinny little rope to save my life .That said I can fly a bucket truck with the best of them and did weaving in and out of 13,800 volt power lines .My hooks reside in my shed never to be used again .
