Oh, look, a thing.

[madhatte]

So, why would a nominally logical person such as myself go and remove oiler, chainbrake, dawg, and chain catcher from a perfectly functional 036 like this?

Well, it might be because I'm not going to use it as a chainsaw any more.

WHAAAA?!?!?!?!?!?

Yeah, I have this:

and here's the full-meal deal:

Don't know how many times I coulda used this thing.

Salt water fishing?

 

[hamish]

Sweet, cant wait to hear from a "real" user of how the Lewis performs.

 

[fearofpavement]

If that's for fishing He's "gonna need a bigger boat!"

Beats a come a long for sure.

 

[3000 FPS]

Yea I am real currious about how that winch works also.

 

[bplust]

Subscribing.

 

[Tzed250]

Looks like a back saver!

 

[Gologit]

Nate.

Be sure to rope yourself to a tree before you use that thing. Every yarder needs a tail hold. :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[2strokenut]

opcorn::beer: never seen anything like that before
it would be dam handy

 

[RAMROD48]

Something to remember, that thing can and will twist. It works very well though. better than most would think.

 

[056kid]

Neat. I would like one of the rope winches. I can't remember the name but its the type with a spool that you wrap rope around and as long as the ropes tight it pulls, as soon as you slack the rope it spins without pulling. The big advantage in my eyes is not being handicapped by a cable that is X feet long. If you had 800 feet of rope you can pull it all.

 

[Shmudda]

Capstan winch......That's what it is!

 

[Gologit]

Just don't run out of gas in the middle of a pull...especially if you're by yourself and you're skidding uphill. Don't ask me how I know this.

It was called a "cat head" in the oil-patch way back in the 70's when I was there.

 

[d1hamby]

Hope you got the part that hooks to the hitch. Post a video when you use it.

 

[Steveo_supremo]

Nice! I recently picked up a used Lewis winch. I bolted it up to a J-red 2071. The cable was kinda haggard so I replaced it with Amsteel Blue rope. It'll probably be springtime before I get to try it out.
