Hi Roger,
The model (per the box) is K2550 1142. Works very well. The effort is
dramatically reduced. My wife thinks I replaced it so I can have HER
crank it up and down - not a bad idea....
I haven't had an issue with the smaller winch on the tower to tilt it
over - works fine so far. If I need to replace that one, I now have a
spare K1550. ;-)
