What winch is this??

Im wondering what winch is on my discovery as ive got no clue as it doesn't have a make on it anywhere i can see.

Anyone got a clue what it is.....





Incase any of you old gits dont have your reading glasses to hand its got a sticker saying;

Electric winch
08DF13435
DC 12V

Ta!

Could be anything .. Chinese copy of a Warn, usually new on ebay for ~ £220+

cheap Chinese crap one..

looks similar to my old winch (early champion).. and the bars in the middle appear home-made..

Nah its steam operated you's meant to put them on gaylanders and work it off the burning headgasket and coolant mix

Looks to me like some sort of a genuine/copy warn, in the words of the guy in the computer advert, is it powered by coal or steam?

Yup! It's definitely one wot works off lectrickery!

Thems is mini boiler pipes

looks like the chrome bars that normnally hold the 2 halves of the winch together. Have snapped o0ff and he's bodged/fabricated a frame to hold it all together.

I'm looking at it and thinking £50 would be overly generous..

as they as said, looks like your usual warn/superwinch copy thing. That dont mean its shizer though!

Sure, it aint going to last as long as a warn or a superwinch etc etc, but if you look after it and maintain it, it should do the job of pulling you out the bloop occasionally. If yo uneed the winch everyday, id look at an upgrade.

Also, looking at the cable and the radiator covered in mud etc, if i was you, id be taking it off my vehicle and giving it a good servicing.

You will find Paul D did a thread not so long ago about servicing winches and also loads of info on google and youtube.

Good luck.

Hopefull not in the snatch....block

On a more serious note.......

Int you sposed to wind on synthetic criss-crossed?

Looks almost identical to the Champion CT12000 clone that I have. Sure, it's no Warn but it's fine for getting you out of the **** occasionally.
