I agree with Ted, if the issue is that the cage is split in the middle then I think that is the way they are. I have rebuilt my ARCO and Barient winches a few times, those look normal to me.
Note that the lubrication on roller bearings is intentionally sparse. The rollers are suppose to roll, not slide. The grease will help carry any debris away from the contact surfaces. Slathering everything to the limit with ultra-slippery synthetic high pressure grease is not what you want. The winch handle retaining capability on my ARCO 40s became poor, would sometimes jump a handle out under load. I contacted ARCO, and was advised to ship the spindles down to AU and they would make new ones for me. Ended up taking photos, then overlaying them with exact measurements of all the dimensions. ARCO made two spindles and shipped them to Canada $380 all in. I think that is pretty good support for an old product. Spindles fit perfectly.

The cage that holds the roller bearings in place are made in two parts. It looks like you have to reseat the roller bearings into the cage and then snap the cage halves together again. If you still need replacement parts, contact the Arco Hutton Winch Company. They have many parts for Barient winches in stock. http://www.arco-winches.com/products/spares -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
