Yeah, those winch drums and pulleys are the nicest part of the machine. The guy who made them should be really proud!

The big trick to keeping cable drums pretty and running flat is getting the first wrap as tight and perfect as possible, then running enough rope it doesn't have to ever use any of the first wrap. Then it's just don't slack the lines too much.

I've about got this part running well enough to start pulling it back apart to finally do some parts clean up. ...After it's warm enough to paint.
