Logging winch repair/restore project

[Agvg]

Yes, it has been left in the woods for 10 to 15 years after the axle broke off.
I am very happy over the fact that nothing is stuck og rusted solid.
Not a single bolt has broken and no heating or violence to take it apart.

The winch is a Fransgard V3000 1982, 3000kg pulling capacity.

Taking something that someone has given up on and bringing it back to life is fun for me....making the old new and useful again.
