LU-4 is back on frame rebuilt. Now adjust the safety brake. The following is a quote from TM 9-8030 M-37. Remove outer jam nut from the brake band end. Insert a long punch through the shear pin hole in the worm shaft. Oscillate the shaft with the punch and at the same time tighten the inner jam nut on the brake band end until a noticeable drag is felt when the worm shaft is rotated in one direction. Hold the inner jam nut and install the outer jam nut and tighten".
The top plate was missing on my winch and 2 pieces of angle were used to tie both sides together, with elongated holes. This was probably done due to the assembly problem and the original top plate would not line up. I plan to make a 3/16" diamond plate piece to tie both sides together and then have it Line-X covered. It will be a handy skid proof place to stand while working on the engine
