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
