That makes two winches like that I"ve seen in my life. The other is mounted on a trailer we used for years to moves some very big loads. That winch is nearly indestructable. Don"t modify it! Cut that stub shaft of of the original drive hub/gear and insert a handle through it. A piece of flat stock with a roller on the end. It goes through the slot in it. There was originally a bolt in the center of the hub to tighten it/hold in place. By sliding it back and forth, you can vary the length of the handle. Shorter for less torque/faster rewinds. Long for more torque/slower rewinds. Stick it right in the middle of the big gear, shorten the handle, and you can wind up the cable for storage so fast your head will spin. It will amaze with the loads you can move with little effort, even not using the reduction, but in direct (center of hub). However, I don"t think your drill will work, because silo unloader winches were usually worm drive (low torque requirements, extremely slow speeds). Please try it before modifying that thing. It will probably work so well you won"t want to mess with electrifying it.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
