Eaton winch brake slipping on 230TJ

I was hoping some members can help me out. I have a 1978 TJ230 with Eaton winch. The brake is not holding the load up as it should. It was slipping a few months back and I adjusted the two jam nuts on the cylinder and that helped but it is slipping again. My bottom nut only has about 2/3 of the nut threads still on the bolt and the top nut is snugged up so I figure I am out of adjustment. I thought the break banks were worn but I can see through the inspection hole in the winch guard that I have about 3/8 inch of friction material on the band. Could it be that my spring inside the winch cylinder is weak? How likely is that? Can anyone suggest other likely causes? Read More

Anyone have any information, parts, or manuals on Endercraft/Baker 36HTL sawmills? I bought one with only 100 hours on it but it has been sitting for quite a few years.
