How I Changed Winch Cable To Strap With Photos

[rayteagarden]

This was the quickest and easiest way to make the change. Drilling the shaft is difficult because the winch shaft is hardened and requires special drill bits (Cobalt) and very slow speeds on a drill press, not a hand held drill motor.

The notes on the photos should help figure it all out. I hope!
