    Where does this carriage bolt belong?

    Try putting a piece of steel pipe outside to keep thing round and insert a big ratchet socket inside the fitting. Then use a pair of long nose vise grip to work the socket in the fitting until it get back to shape. Sorry no picture of what I mean.

    Logging winch design

    Logging winch design

    You mean the cable could get out of the second sheave when doing side pulling? Norse winches are built this way. Maybe I miss a detail about their sheaves configuration. I'm pretty confident the cable will stay put. I add a swivel cable guide to help the loose cable follow the right path.

    Logging winch design

    Logging winch design

    First layer speed should be 82 fpm. I cant justify to spend as much money a pto winch worth. The hydraulic winch with the motor was real cheap and I have some material on hand. I will use this winch for maybe 2-3 times by year to recover trees in bad spots or to control falling route.
