The winch was in terrible shape, but worked fine.

Found this helpful hint after sandblasting.

The frame of the winch was galvanized. The balance of the mechanism was powdercoated because the gears would not have meshed properly with 1/16" of zinc on them. The tolerances on the rest of the parts wouldn't have allowed it either.
