I stripped one down a few years ago. Pretty simple to work on. I took the seals & bearings to bearing supplies and got newies.
I recommend moreys oil when you replace the oil, or similar.
Cheers,

hmmm can't seem to attach to the message.

Try doing a search on "Thomas" by me, should find the zip file.

I had a 30,000 Lb winch on a float that I use to drive, It use to leak oil and had what sounded like a bearing noise in it when pulling a heavy load ( dead earth moving plant) I filled it with Morey's and about 2 uses later the leaks and the noise went.
