i am having problems with an old koenig 100. the bolt securing the drive >shaft
to the winch came off and the small shim which pits into the winch input shaft
was lost (Alan bolt). I made a new shim out of old spring and it fits perfectly, however the 3/8 inset hex head bolt is not providing enough pressure and the winch still fails under a heavy load. I tried drilling a
bit
into that shim and also ground the bolt to fit into the depression and got
a
fair pull before the winch again failed. the rotation is starting to score the
input shaft.
I appreciate any ideas....any one ever just drill through the input shaft
so
the securing bolt fully penetrates the drive shaft.? I am amazed with the strength of the winch when operating normally and it is crazy that there
is
only a pressure hold and not a bolt all the way through the
shaft....thanks
for any ideas....

thanks budd, got a good pull earlier, dragging a coconut tree out of the creek
at my place here on the west coast of sumatra....i run a surf camp here....our
motto is to protect and surf.....or surf and rescue when the beast, my 79 cruiser, is in a good mood. having the winch is essential i have pulled a
lot
of small truck out of dangerous situations.....btw I just ground down the
3/8
inch bolt to a flat face, my idea of drilling a small divot into the shim
and
tapering the end of the bolt was a bad idea. your suggestion helped me
solve
the problem.....thanks again....take care, zane
