Got the hinged L shaped lift arm fabed up and got the winch mounted to raise the body of the trailer. I fabed up a roller at the top of the arm for the cable to roll over. Made it from a piece of pipe and 2 wheel barrow wheel bearings. The bottom pivot of the L lift member was a bit of a challenge also. Cut a piece of 3/4" pipe, but most of you know that a 3/4" pin is sloppy in the pipe. I had a piece of 3/4" copper which I cut 2- 1" long bushings and fitted them inside the iron pipe. Just happened to have a NOS bracket off an old Jamesway barn cleaner that had a 3/4" shaft center drilled for a grease fitting so I utilized it for the pivot pin. I din't have a metal lath so I did all my machine work with a 3/8" drill with a rotary file to make bearings and bushings fit. It didn't take a lot of effort, or time. I still have some finishing touches to add, such as the battery box, reinforcing the bed where the cable hooks in, install the winch control, and a key disconnect from the battery to the controller. Some one on the last post posed a question about my hinge plates on the body, and worried about wear and stress in the threaded area of the 3/4" hinge bolts. The nut on the outside is welded to the hinge plate/channel, and threads of the bolt are bottomed out in the nut, so no threads exposed to ware, plus the brackets welded to the chassis are also bushed and will have grease fittings. The lift doesn't exert much pressure on the hinges like hydraulic cylinders mounted under the body would, to raise the body. Loren
