Need some help here. The C clip came off the lower pawl shaft of my aluminum bodied come-a-long. And now I can't get it working again. There is one spring still there and I think another is lost. Anybody have some close up photos of thiers? For the life of me I can't remember what the configuration looks like. The lower pawl holds the load when getting another stroke and also is the auto release when lowering a load. I have looked everywhere online with no luck. Mine is a Cadillac 4000 pound model. Looks similar to Little Mule 250A 1/2 Ton x 9 ft Lineman's Strap Hoist - #04190W but mine is cable and I can't see enough detail. Thanks
You the man flyerdan! The holding pawl and shock spring, and cable guide look exactly like mine! Little Mule Hoist Parts | Americrane & Hoist Corp. Now to find a photo of the assembled hoist that I can see how to put mine back.
Got all the parts assembled and it works great! I also ordered a new cable from ziplinegear.com Zip Line Cable – ZIPLINEGEAR
They sell cable by the foot and will put a thimble and swage on the ends. Price was very reasonable $11.20 for 20 ft of 1/4" galvanized Aircraft cable with 1 swage and free shipping.
