That's brilliant!

How many turns of the crank to wind it up Tom, Or do you do it with a battery drill?
Don.

I'm not sure Don how many cranks - I haven't seen it in person yet! Doh - living in Lockdown and my vehicle is someplace else, and I can't get to it... Oh well - soon. :)

It looks very low geared to me, so the drill might be the answer

Don.

For the amount of times it may get used, would you really need a drill though? It’s a 30:1 winch with a single snatch block so 60:1. Of it took a minute or so to lower or raise it, once a year or so, that’s not a big deal IMO and not worth carrying a powered tool to use it. If it was a stabiliser, etc that was used every time you pulled up, that would be different.

That would be Jim Bean and cola cans knowing the driver... [emoji56]

So Murray has been in contact and the 101 is very nearly finished... Some pics:

The carrier for the gas bottle broke a few years ago - so some bracing has been added. It's a much stronger design now.

Good to see this is progressing well. We like those steps and the stainless tables behind the spare wheels. Some thought has gone into that! :)
