Re: Bought a 渡ew Farmi winch
Looks brand new!
Looks brand new!
Nice job of bringing it back to life. I have to ask. With all the work that you put into this project, how did the brake lever escape the paint booth?? I think I would swap one of the ropes so you have a different color for the brake versus the clutch. I have a new Farmi winch and wish I would have bought one years ago.

Hi Andy do you have part numbers for the bearings and name of the place you got them and do you know the size of the bearing in the top sprocket?I would appreciate any help o just picked up one just like this thanks geneI picked up a old well used Farmi winch a couple weeks ago. I stripped it all down and have replaced all of the bearings and bushings. Got the bushings from Northeast Implements and the bearings through my local bearing supply house. Other than those things and cleaning up and addressing a few small things itç—´ in good mechanical shape for its age. Hopefully you guys can tell me if I got a good deal on it. I paid $400 for the winch and will have about $250 in parts. I think when itç—´ done it should last another 40 years. They are very simple and parts support is excellent so I would say if youæ±*e in the market for one don稚 be afraid to get an old one and put a little money and time into it to bring it back to top condition.

Gene, I don’t have the part numbers anymore. But what I can tell you is that the bearings for for the bottom drive sprocket (the one you connect to your PTO) are standard bearings. I got those from my local bearing supply house. Just take down the numbers on them and you can get them off the shelf. As far as the bearings for the top large sprocket they are a special split bushing and I got them from Farmi from this place HomeHi Andy do you have part numbers for the bearings and name of the place you got them and do you know the size of the bearing in the top sprocket?I would appreciate any help o just picked up one just like this thanks gene
