Hi Jeff yes this is the
one.. I have it now and will see how it will work. The
way it was worded it sound like you had to free wheel it out, but it will
do both free spool and power reverse.
It is 12 volt and it does have a reverse on it. It comes with
a rocker switch but I see no reason why we could not wire it to the
switch on the tractor.The switch does have a bracket that you could mount
it as is. It has a rubber cover over the switch to make it waterproof.
The switch is powered to activate a control box to reverse or wind it
in. It comes with a circuit breaker. I tested the terminals to the motor
casing with a ohm meter and it is not grounded to the frame. The motor has a
ground wire coming out of it so it will ground to the battery terminal instead
of grounding to the frame.
I did not hook it up for a test to see how fast it will work yet.
I plan to use 18 volts to it instead of 32.
I plan to hook the cable to a heavy spring on the deck bracket
so it will not pull the bracket off if you run it up too tight.
Harbor Freight had a coupon in the paper for $49. I am not a big fan on
some of their stuff. This looks nice and because it is not working hard I
thought I would try it. I know most of their stuff is not worth carrying
home
On the harbor freight sight you sent me go to the manual down load button
and you can read it and see what comes with it to wire it. (page 14)
It is 11" long with a 4 x 4 area at the spool. The motor is 3"
diameter.
I am thinking it has to be better than the motor they have on the tractor
now. Mine is shorted out.
I hope this will work for me. Dave
