I have a winch (maybe a 403?) on an HD4. winch pulls but the brake does not engage. Had cover off and brake band is good. Any ideas on how that brake is applied would be helpful. I recently acquired this machine after it has been sitting in a barn for extended period of time.
After an injection pump rebuild it fired up and runs like a champ. steering clutches will probably need replaced/adjusted but still operates as would be expected.
Being new to this machine any advice would be appreciated. I know its older and all but I plan on using it as it was designed to be used.
Thanks

If it needs steering clutches replaced, prepare to learn some new cuss words! JMHO, Tracy

lol...By what I've seen posted I would agree. It is ok for now. I do have a manual.
For the more immediate concern I'm not even sure what winch it is. Any ideas on how to ID it?

Post a picture of it. Could it be a Carco? Tracy
