Hi, I'm trying to take a Hyster towing winch apart to get it into operating condition and have a few of questions. I'm now trying to remove the cable drum from the metal casing.

1. Does the chain drive have a master link that I can remove? If not, then I'm guessing that I have to remove about 6-8 bolts that are sort of visible with the red arrows and accessed through the hole in the casing circled in red.

2. Does anyone have the parts and the operator's manuals and would be willing to sell or scan a page or two showing how the sprocket is attached to the cable drum??

Thanks
Pete

 

I don't Peter, but boy am I interested in seeing LOTS of detailed pictures as you disassemble it.

Thanks every one for all of the input.

Josh and every one, I did find a master link on the chain AFTER I got it all apart and cleaned up. Here are some pictures.

mog5858: Yes, there is no reversing of  the drum. It is free wheel out but the brake is missing so it will only be to lengthen the cable. Here is the sliding clutch for free spooling:    

Neil, here are pictures. I use them for reassembly hoping every thing was correct when I disassembled it:
