you ever take a look for it???
Darn it, I must be getting old. I looked for that winch housing, did not find it, but somehow forgot to post that.
Sorry.
Can you tell which post was replaced? If its the.......Well, got a semantics problem here. Not sure what to call what.
Normally I call the winch pulling in, forward, but if you are standing in front, you might call that backwards since its going away from you.....
Anyway, is the bolt that was replaced the one hooked to the battery when its in pull-you-out mode?
That should be when those bolts see the most load. So you would want it to be the copper one.
If the new bolt is the one used when paying out the cable, then it will not see the current load the other one will.
Or, is it the one off by its self? That is the armature bolt, and while it sees some load, its not going to see as much as the field bolts.
Depending oh how he attached the wires, you might have problems with that bolt.
It can see some really high current loads. Watch for smoke when you are pulling hard.
If you are still concerned, I will check around and see if I can't find a copper stud like those somewhere.
And, I should have some Phoscopper laying around to solder it with.
