[AT] OT winch as feeder drive gear motor

[Paul Waugh]

I did it. Using a cheap 2000 lb. winch I made a electric jack for my 12 ton
trailer. I left the original drum on so I did not have to mess with a new
bearing set up.  I could not find an inexpensive sprocket with the right
size bore. I got one close, drilled and tapped it, then cut it in half.
Never had to key it. I can get a lot of weight on the front, so I geared
mine down. That was in 08 and still working.

OK, I am asking this as I would think one of you guys has had one of these
cheap winches apart.  Those 2500 lb Harbor freight winches is what 
I am talking about.   I need to slow down the auger on my Bar-6 feed 
dispenser.  They make a belt drive jackshaft for slowing down the auger.  I
can't get a real price as to what it would be for the jackshaft with
shipping but it s about $200 I keep thinking there should be some way to
replace the winch drum with a sprocket and chain drive the auger with one of
these $59 winches with the remote control.  Has anyone had one of these
apart to figure out how to fasten something to the winch drum?
