A winch mounted to an automobile bumper and comprising a cable winding drum rotatably mounted between a main drive housing and an opposite end idler housing. The main drive housing has a main lower section of integral box-like construction and an open top closed by an upper housing section. The drive end of the drum and an intermediate drive member are inserted laterally into the lower housing through access openings, and are retained in place by a downwardly inserted retaining plate. The remaining drive components are inserted into the lower housing section through the top opening or positioned in the upper housing section. This construction provides for easy assembly of the drive components, with box-like construction of the main housing being better able to withstand the substantial force loads exerted thereon. |
