I am attempting to pull the side cover off my winch. I have removed the row of bolts around the outside, but the cover doesn't want to come off. Is there a trick to getting it off? I don't have an manual for the winch. Anyone have one or know if they are available still? Any help is greatly appreci...

I have a gearmatic 8A on my skidder, though it is not a JD it is vintage, a Garrett Tree Farmer model 15. Don Garrett of Garrett Enumclaw(WA), has furnished me with a manual for my winch, and he has some parts. Very helpful individual when it comes to the old winch. (360)825-2500.Ask for Don.

where is the best price for tracks and undercarriage parts for the 350? I will be looking to replace the tracks and drive sprockets after I am done with the logging I've been working on. Want to put on grousers again, as this machine is a woods machine.

I have been running a 350 with a JD winch. Fluid level is up, is there any adjustment to the winch that will make it pull a little harder? it will barely pull the cat when sitting on level ground, hooked to a stump or tree, with the brake off. I hope that there is an adjustment that can be made to t...

Dropping the price to $575. Don't miss out on a nice little winch. do you still have the winch? any pics? Has the winch been apart recently? I have a Garrett skidder that uses a 8A, my winch needs the clutch gone over. I have had it apart to fix it, but I need clutch bands(primary and secondary), I...
