Glad to help.
I was a heavy equipment mechanic and journeyman millwright for ten years in
an automotive muffler factory here in the States but I also served with the
Indiana National Guard Combat Engineers in the 1970's.
US Army 6X6 trucks used a similar overload unit on some winches and I
remembered how were set up.
Surf Safe!!!!
Budd
