Can I just buy the Winch Drum and Strap for my Trailer?

[Murphjup]

My Trailer Winch is in good shape aside from the Drum which is rusted due to salt water... I was wondering if you can buy just the Drum and the Strap without replacing the entire Winch?

Thank you in advance.

You can get the strap, but just the drum, not so sure. Why not buy the whole deal? Not too pricey. Rust....who cares unless it's rotting the metal away. Buy the strap and install on your rusty drum.

He is right,,,,just buy the entire unit. I dont think you can get just the spool......

Because the rust roughs up the inner edges of the drum so bad it's hard to to get the strap around it evenly...

It's not a money thing, since the rest of it is fine, I was just wondering if it's possible that's all, if not I have no problem replacing the entire thing....

Thanks for the reply.

Well after further research, I was able to get ahold of the Manufacturer, Shelby Industries in Kentucky, and they have the parts available to purchase, so I ordered them up, since the rest of the winch is in good shape...

They were about a third the price of a new winch...
