.....I'm using the 20.000 lb Ramsey winch on my W500 the other day to skid a tree up a hillside and the lever that is on the winch that puts it into a neutral position breaks off.!!!....I'm like what the heck man,,,, why???.... well upon looking at it, it showed that it had been brazed with brass rod or something at one time or another. So I guess I have another wintertime project to do in building a new and improved winch lever....should be a total pain to remove the cover off the end of it and repair it I'm sure................BNC
