Gearmatic winch 8G
I have a 1010c with an 8G gearmatic winch. It is Pto operated and thats all I know. Will someone explain how it works? There are 2 levers, one looks like an E brake on a car, mounted on the right fender and the other on the right side(looking from rear of dozer) of the winch. Thanks, gregjo1948
The short lever is the shifter to put the winch in and out of gear, you must also have the PTO in gear. The large lever on the fender is the brake. Push it one way to engage, the other way to disengage for freespooling. IF you have a reverser, NEVER engage the reverser to power out the cable unless you have first disengaged the brake.

gregjo1948: Send me your email and I'll send you an attached .pdf of the Gearmatic 8a/g manual. I found it useful when working on my winch. Good luck with yours. Paul
