Re: PTO winch holes in drum

Are the holes in the centre of the drum itself or in the side flanges?.

Keep using a banjo filter, they are there for a reason.

Safari GQ broken PTO drum

Guess it had to happen one day...took a fair few years though. I can get an oem drum to replace it but I may as well look at getting an extended larger drum made for it. Would appreciate knowing what others have done including preventative measures to stop the wire going over the side of the drum AG...

Is this on a Safari pto?. I stripped mine a few years ago, hub came off ok but took time to separate the drum from the shaft. Cleaned & reassembled it with white lithium grease on the shaft.....to this day it still freespools perfectly.

Billet cranks seem to be the go but not cheap. I've just put a new clutch in so I changed the flywheel ...
