I believe you can buy parts directly from Superwinch customer service; (860) 928-7787 (Jack Jolly is The Man). Could you get a better price from a dealer? Don't know; Dealer Locator Line is (800) 799-4624.

Don't know what kind of price you'd get, but AW Direct is a dealer; (800) 243-3194; ask about the Superwinch Part # 1515A "Handheld Remote Switch 12' and Solenoid Kit," not cataloged, but bet they can get it. AW Direct has provided excellent service in my experience.

Hey Farmer is that in only?? Being a trigger switch how would you reverse it?, I really need something that has reverse it too. Thanks for all your help. Btw Dennis Kirk has that set up in their cat for 145 bucks

 

Thanks as well for the added info! As for the extra cable requirements, you are right I would need a bunch of extra cable. However, I do have 50' on the drum, plus an additional 100' spool, rigged and hooked in my mortar box up front. This in combination with the 30', 20' and 6' nylon straps, combined with the 16' of 1/2" choker cable USUALLY provides enough distance or length for me to get most jobs done.

The reason I was asking about the double ****** block trick earlier, was that over the christmas break, I had to tow my dad in the suburban, with trailer attached up a hill in about 2' of snow. After 5 separate towing occassions, he managed to "get a run at it", and put the whole rig over the edge, on the downhill side of a VERY steep dropoff-hence, the winch/****** block requirement. Due to the angle of the suburban, combined with the steep angle of the trailer attached, all being pulled up over the edge, back onto the road through the deep snow, my winch was starting to lag a bit. I didn't really like running it in that type of condition, and would have much rather preferred a double ****** block rigging, as it should have been much easier on the winch/machine.

Again, thanks for the help, greatly appreciated! Oh, and as for the "primitiveness" of the winch, other "old fashioned" tricks, hell, I love this stuff, keep it coming!

BTW-T.F., tried that trick with the tent stakes chained together-worked great! Still wanting to try that full circle cut down in the snow though, that one really sounds cool!

Take care,

Mike

 

Doggone it, Robh! I deliberately withheld the information, "The trigger switch has a sliding reversing switch mounted in its housing for powering the winch out or in," because, I thought, THAT'S TOO MUCH INFORMATION! Nobody cares about that level of detail!

I was wrong.

At the risk of providing excessive detail; the hand-held switch cord socket on the solenoid box has a spring-loaded cover, keeping contamination and corrosion away from the electrical contacts when the switch is disconnected.
