Winch.Guide //

Ok guys. I know that many of you know much about winch.
I don't know a thing, and I see many many people like me around. (but things are even harder to me 'cause I can not use the store that you guys suggest and things has different names on my country)

So, I'm proposing that we create a simple guide to avoid a bunch of same questions.

Very Happy

JB_CANSKATE has posted this picture a while ago. We could use this to help everyone.

Just need to fill each number with a little information:

#01 - NAME - What is it function - Estimated price (ex)

Is this everything you will need for a winch?

Thank you for your help/time.
This will help everyone on this forum.

1. Briggs and stratton (6.5 horse i think) probably around 300 USD
2. Torq-a-verter brand CVT cover and transmission... around 180 USD
3. driven sprocket (i dunno how many teeth that sprocket is but you can use anywhere from 60 to 72 tooth sprocket with a 7 to 8 inch spool... about 30 USD
4. looks to be about 10ft of chain... #35 pitch chain is preferred but #41 will work as well approx 15 USD
5. Belt for the CVT comes with #2
6. looks to be a hitch pin for transporting winch using the hitch of a car
7. pillow block bearings, holds shaft onto the frame... approx 30 USD
8. Gocart axle... 30 in long, cut to fit your frame... approx 30 USD
9. ibolt can be used for rope guidance 2 USD
10. Fairlead rollers for rope guidance onto the spool 10 USD

you still need metal for the frame and spool... and hardware to put it all together

NotSoBueno, haha i cant believe i forgot rope... i guess im just tired...

JB_CANSKATE, yea i just did my best in describing things.. i wasnt sure what you were doin with the ibolts and rollers... good idea

also if you have northern tool near you its a great place to get all your winching supplies...

and for the spool just to let people know this is what i mean when i say inner and outer diameter when refering to the spool...

and of course blue prints of my frame which ... just to get an idea and a place to start

Here is two sketchy sketches on frame designs that i'm considering. I have some rough dimentions for them but nothing is forsure.

I also plan to have wheels that can be removed on the front end a rope splash guard and eventually once it is done maybe a break.

whats the motor look like with the torque verter on there? Can someone explain how they work?

Also do yall think its worth the hassle of building one or just buying one?

So I decided to make a winch and am in the process of tracking everything down. Looks like I will be going with a 8 or 9 hp Honda, Tav 2, disc brake and some sort of hand throttle. The question I have at this time is sprocket size. What do you guys suggest as a starting point keeping in mind I will have hopefully a 9hp with the TAV-2. Thanks for your time. Also, where are you guys tracking down the spools? And lastly, what rope is doing the duty and surviving? Really appreciate the help. Haven't been this excited since I started skating 7 years ago

i just noticed that there is no centrifugal clutch in the picture..don't you need one?

Jeff_Knox · Backside 180 Joined: 31 Jan 2005 Posts: 712 City: J-ville

yabu, no the cvt (consecutively variable transmission) is actually more effective than the centrifugal clutch...

yabu · Posted: Dec 03, 2006 9:53 pm Post subject:

TheLeprechaun, does the cvt come with the engine or you have to buy it seperately?

Jeff_Knox · Backside 180 Joined: 31 Jan 2005 Posts: 712 City: J-ville

it was actually more than the engine itself... we bought it after wards and spent nearly 200 $$$ on it... the engine itself only costed 60 bucks
