• What Are The Base And Gear Height Dimensions On The Fulton 2 Speed Winch?
  Hey Jim, I went out to our warehouse to grab those measurements for you on the Fulton # F142421 winch. The base measurements for that winch are going to be 7" L x 5 1/2" W. I attached a photo to better show that as well. The gear height on that winch is going to be 2 1/4" going from up and down, and 2 3/4" going from the side of the winch. I attached a photo showing that as well. Is that what you were looking for? Let me know if there are any other measurements you are needing to make...

• Recommendation for Replacement Shelby 5470A Winch with Large Drum Storage Capacity
  You are correct that Shelby is no longer in business. Based on my research it looks like your Shelby 5470A is a 2,800 pound hand winch. I wasn't able to locate the drum capacity on the 5470A but the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL15440 that you mentioned can store up to 30 feet of 3/8 inch cable. It does have a very similar design to your existing Shelby winch but also features a slightly higher weight capacity of 3,200 pounds. This is the largest drum capacity hand winch we have available...

• Availability of Hand Winch to Use with 100 Feet of 3/8 Inch Cable
  When using 3/8 inch cable, the hand winch we have available with the largest drum capacity is with the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL15440. This can handle up to 30 feet of 3/8 inch cable. Since you are looking for a much longer length, I recommend checking out the Fulton High-Performance Trailer Winch # F142421. This winch uses 7/32 inch cable but can store up to 100 feet of it. It features a 3,200 pound capacity and 2 speeds to fit your specific application. I have attached a short...

• Hand Winch That Has Capacity for 100 Feet of Cable
  There are a pair of hand winches that have the storage capacity for 100 feet of cable, but it needs to be 7/32" cable; there are no winches that have the capability to store 100 feet of 5/16" cable as it is too large. If you are okay with using that size cable you have two options for a winch, depending on the weight rating you need. - 3,200 lbs: Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch - Cable Only # F142421 - 3,700 lbs: Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch with Handbrake...

• Availability of Repair Kit for Fulton T3205 Winch
  I spoke with my contact at Fulton regarding the Ratchet Repair Kit # F501133 referenced in your question for your T3205 Fulton Winch. He stated that this is an older, discontinued winch, but he was able to verify that the ratchet itself in the kit, along with the spring will work perfectly. Because this is a newer repair kit, he was not able to confirm that the remaining parts in the kit will be compatible but it is likely they will. Since repair parts will be harder to come by for your...

• Can the Fulton 3205 Be Used with a Polyester Strap Instead of Wire Rope
  I have a solution for you, but the # F142421 is designed only to be used with cable. Instead you'll want to use the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch - TUFFPLATE Finish - 2 Speed - Direct Drive - 3,200 lbs # DL15440, which can be used with either wire rope # DL24104 or a 2" polyester strap # DL24251.

• Replacement Trailer Hand Winch for Shelby # 5435
  According to my research, the Shelby 5435 had a 3200 lb capacity and could accommodate 100 feet worth of 7/32 inch diameter cable. For a replacement, I'd recommend going with the Fulton # F142421 High Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch, which has an identical capacity and can accommodate the same length and diameter cable. The cable is sold separately from the winch, as # FWC7500100 for a 50 foot length which is the longest we carry in 7/32. To see a product description video for the...

• How to Select Appropriate Winch for Car Hauler Trailer
  Both the Fulton # F142421 and the Dutton Lainson # DL15440 2-speed hand winches are rated for 3200-lbs maximum capacity. The Fulton works only with wire rope # FWC7500100 but the Dutton Lainson works with a wire rope # DL24104 or a polyester strap # DL24251. Although both are intended for use on a boat trailer they could certainly be used in a car trailer application so long as they offered the required pulling capacity. Most of the time car trailers use an electric winch, like one of...

• Recommended Winch to Move Floating Platform
  The Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Hand Winch with Split Reel for 2 Cables # DL10972 has a gear ratio of 40:1 which is standard for this type of winch but can be more difficult to reel depending on the load. This winch will certainly work for your application but I also recommend checking out the Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch # F142421.

• Is There a Longer Handle for the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch DL1302
  The correct replacement handle for the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch DL1302 is the Replacement Winch Handle for Dutton-Lainson part # DL70326 which is 9-1/2" long. This is the longest handle than can be obtained for any of the Dutton-Lainson (Pulling) Hand Winches. The only option I have for you to obtain a 12" long handle would be to replace the entire winch with an option like the Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch part # F142421.
