Hi all..
I was wondering if anyone could help answer some winch questions for me.

I have a friend that has a 240A timberjack and he needs a new winch housing.
The timberjack dealer I spoke with said that machine left the factory with a gearmatic winch on it.
My friend gave me the numbers he pulled directly from the winch that is on the machine now and the numbers do not match gearmatic, eaton or any of the other big winch names.
My friend says it says ETN on the winch housing.

I am guessing that if I can get measurements of the housing we can simply replace it with any brand as long as it fits???
What needs to be measured for sure?

This is what I have come up with thus far. What am I missing?
1.   Get diameter of the gearbox
2.   Measure each side of the housing
3.   Measure diameter of shaft
4.   Measure the distances between the flanges
5.   Get diameter of drum
6.   Get the diameter of the cable
7.   Get any numbers on the casting and tags


On a separate note.. does anyone know any dealers that still work with CanCar winches???

THANK YOU in advance for your help!
