Hello All!

I've been trying to track down a North American source for murray
winch parts. There's a fellow in NZ who can get the parts, but that's
a lot of shipping, particularly since what I really need is the
bearings (pawls and springs can wait), and I'm pretty sure these are
not produced in NZ in the first place.

What I've got is the "two-speed" winches, which have a ratchet on the
top, and a worm gear on the bottom. The bearings are a conical set of
needle bearings in a cage, that support the weight of the drum.
Anyone with experience on these? Please post here, as I'm sure other
murray devotees would appreciate the info.

Many thanks in advance!
