Almost done turning the Logging Arch into a junking aid.
When I used it last week in it's original iteration I had to re-mount the manual winch because the electric (Superwinch) wouldn't work.
I opened it up to find that it's an "indoor winch", It was still wet and all clogged with rust in the little permanent magnet motor.
I cleaned the rust and gunk off the parts, 2 of the 4 magnets had come loose from the frame.
After blowing it out with compressed air, letting it dry and epoxying back the 2 magnets I re-assembled it and lo and behold it works.
So I'll remount it to the logging arch/now rudimentary processor.
If it actually does stop raining tomorrow I may get it out and into service.
P.S. I guess I'm gonna hafta cover the little winch with a heavy plastic bag or piece of tarp.
