You could add a reversing switch to the motor itself.  A small box with a 
toggle switch.  Does it have brushes?  If so just a reversing switch on either 
the field or armature will do the trick.  4 wires.

No can do on this one. The AC feed goes into the pedal first and then on to the 
winch. The pedal is basically a light switch.

    I just bought a new winch 
(https://www.gmesupply.com/ab-chance-3000-lb-capacity-capstan-hoist) for tower 
work but to my surprise it does not have reverse, and it's painfully slow. Our 
old My-Te had reverse, 
(https://myte.com/winch-hoist-models/product/300AB/?categories=3) I just 
thought it was a standard thing. It is really handy for lowering loads and 
getting them in just the right position. Our My-Te winch is 15 years old and 
has certainly paid for itself but it is due to be replaced. I would just get 
another My-Te but I would like a smidge more load capacity. What winch do you 
use? Any recommendations?
