Carco F-50-PS winch

[boltbender]

Good day to all!  I would really appreciate some help on this one because I have spent countless hours on line and calling dealers with little success. I recently bought a 1980? 1450 Case dozer with a Carco F-50-PS winch.  I could only run the winch line out and in without a load because of the location, but it worked perfectly without a load.  When I took the dozer to the woods, I tried the winch and it was slipping through the clutch when trying to pull a tree.  To make a long story shorter: I tore the winch down and the power in clutches were worn out so I tried to get a parts manual online and from a dealer with little success until yesterday Southeastern Eqp't. called me back and e-mailed me what they think is the right parts manual which I really appreciated.  They found one place that they can get all five steel and four friction disks for the astronomical price of $1592.14 !!  Does anyone know of any place to get a Carco manual and another source for friction discs ?  Thanks to all.

Hi there,  I have a carco F - 4 on my old D6 and after searching for a couple years I found a book for a f-6 on fleabay.  Not the proper book but does help with the basics of the carco winch.  I would watch there right now is a book for a 30 and 60 you might wait and find your 50.  Can't help with the clutch parts sorry.
