re: Winch Teeth Wear - What is acceptable?

I've since had a look at the other, identical winch from this pair, and the teeth are much more blocky and less sharp. So I'm sure that this is due to wear. What I'm not sure of is how much life is...

re: Winch Teeth Wear - What is acceptable?

As I've continued to disassemble the winch, I've noticed other signs of damage/wear. I would like to update the thread title to make it a more general enquiry about whether this amount of wear & tear...

Re: Need help identifying toggle forks and turnbuckles

Re: Need help identifying toggle forks and turnbuckles
