[quote='Steve B[_10_];2706608']I was given two gear drive (manual) basketball goal lifters. They consist
of two gears, one on a drive spindle and one on the drum. These look
substantial, and came with 1/4" wire rope cable. They are Aalco A3 K500
hand winches.]

Morning! I work for a non-profit private school in the Mid-west and while I was googling K500 winches I came across your post. Any chance you might sell them is you no longer need them?

Thanks,

Alex
