Dutton-Lanison Winch Repair Kit For Winches Made Before And After 1999

Question:

My question refers to what the parts that come with the repair kit DL 70451? If the gears are not damage on the winch, will this provide the springs and latches that operate the locking and unlocking of the wrench.

The Winch Ratchet Repair Kit by Dutton-Lainson # DL70451, which is no longer available, comes with a 1/4" x 4-1/4" bolt, a 1/4" hex lock nut, a ratchet lever, a spring, a narrow tip ratchet pawl, a sleeve, a washer, and a small latch plate.

This kit will provide everything you need to repair the ratcheting mechanism on a Dutton-Lanison winch manufactured in 1999 or earlier.

If your winch was made after 1999, you can use the:

-Winch Ratchet Repair Kit by Dutton-Lainson # DL70455.

If your winch was made before 1999, then you might consider upgrading your entire winch as a repair kit is no longer offered.

If you let me know what winch you currently have, I'd be happy to help you pick out an upgrade.
