20 ton Press and Mods

here ya go, melbakid and any others that are interested;
There are 2) of the Left Cable Bracket (1st dwg)
Bend the ear as shown for the rear-most bracket.
Bend the ear on the other one the opposite way for the front bracket. (There's only one of the Right Rear Bracket)

The bend should not interfere with the pulley and if you make it 1 1/16" inside from the 3/8" hole, the tab can be bent over to contain the cable.

(If these don't show up large enough, PM me and I'll send them.)

The cable pulleys were made from 2" Alum stk with a 1/2"OD x 3/8" ID bushing.



Winch is a Dutton-Lainson DL600A



Spool with 5/8" center tube;



As I mentioned, I cut a piece of 2" diameter tubing in half, then welded it into the spool.
There are holes in the side flanges where you can weld the ends of the tube into position. (remove paint first)
There's also enough room in one set of holes to run the 1/8" cable through, and loop back inside the flanges.


Leave ends long enough to go over pulleys and attach at the chain link welded to the table spacers.
It's not readily apparent, but the cable is just one piece.

Hope this helps
