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
