Ok so I got this winchmax winch pretty cheap £75 and now I know why!
It has been standing for some time I expect with mud and water inside the thing.
The plan is to strip it down clean it up and bolt it on my pick up if it works once I have finished.
All of the bolts are rusty and seized that hold the gear box together I may be able to cut a slit in the top and remove them with a big flat head, we will see. I just hope I am not wasting my time.
The drum is rusty and was full of mud. The plan is to also strip the gears out and clean with a nice mixture of derv and whatever else I can find in the garage, before re greasing and putting back together.
The solenoid is also rusty it may clean up ok we will see on that one.
