Fun with Grease and Lofrans Falcon Windlass

[stevensc]

I recently installed a Lofrns tigres I had some questions about the wiring and called IMTRA the distributor they were very helpful. The person I spoke to specialized in the Lofrans line he recommended removing the ss bolts and applying tefgel to the threads to make dissasembly easier in the future.

I took it apart and actually posted a write-up of it on SN and AS. I found a piece of metal (origin unknown) jammed on the worm drive.

Here's the metal that was jammed in the gears.



No idea where it came from.

By the way, it also had a broken spring


I have some things to do before I put it all back together. By the way, the replacement spring was $30 plus shipping.
