[TowerTalk] Tri-ex LM-470 Motorized Winch

[Harry Williams]

I recently purchased an old Tri-ex motorized winch, stamped LM-470, less the motor, which I want to mount on my Hygain HG-70HD tower. Can anyone tell me size of the motor used with this winch...need to know the HP rating and the rpm's. The winch is a 40:1 and I am assuming to get another 5:1 reduction between the motor pulley and the pulley driving the 40:1 worm.
