Today, I dedicated the morning hours to a complete tare-down and maintenance of my Tekota 500. I have never done this before.
I fired up your website, studied the tekota tutorial and then left it on my screen so I could refer to the pictures as needed.
Like they say in Jamaica, "No problem mon". ;) It went off without a hitch. And no lost or broken parts because the tutorial showed me what to look out for.
This website is a gold mine.
Yesterday, I ordered up an Abu Garcia, Revo Toro Winch. And with the help of this website, I plan another complete tare-down and lube job before it tastes salt water. Any links you can provide for me here would make things go that much faster.
Again, thanks for all the information posted here on this website. :)

Good!
I still occasionally send the star drag detentes flying when I get in a hurry.
glad you're worked out. it's not always this easy! ;D
Great job.....
If you get that Toro, check out the Kick Lever.
They have an issue with Pot metal and premature wear....
Wont go back into gear after a cast & handle turn...
Look up the Tutorial on the Revo Inshore, Im sure you will see what Im talking about & pics of the old & new one thats available...
.
Here's the link to the revo inshore. http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=3299.0
I've studied both the inshore and the Revo 60/61 tutorials and feel that I'm ready to tackle my new wench.
(Calicos, be afraid. Be very afraid).
The Revo 60/61 tutorial said that all the new Revo's come with the new kick lever so I won't need to worry about that.
Good fishing all.
