The flat wrench is called a cone wrench. You will need a pair of cone wrenches to properly tighten the bearinglocknuts on a typical bike wheel hub. Any good bike shop should have parts to rebuild the hub that you have. If they laugh at you head out the door and go findthe good shop in

For the Rahm, did you mean a sprocket or a hub? Not trying to be picky

I can add a bit of bike knowledge to this discussion. The part used in a
winch retriever is a bike hub. And as was previously mentioned, the
wrenches ideal for servicing a bike hub are call cone wrenches. They are
essentially just very thin wrenches. If somebody in your club doesn't have

"New Style Ford Solenoid" is probably a pretty meaningless phrase to most auto parts counter clerks. Try asking for a "LargeDuck in Blue Lederhosen."You still won't get what you want, but at least you'll get a laugh out of it.

Still, there is no part number, or vehicle listed that it is used in.
These must be available locally with the part number, so no shipping costs or
wait involved.

Dave,
You got it right, the only thing different, is the hub on the web page
listed in your message has extra deep flanges where the spokes hook in. I
would think if something with less diameter to the hub could not be found,
by the guy with the question on where to get them, they could
Guys,
I drew up my own replacement hub for our old club retriever and had a machinist
at my old job build it for me. It looked a lot like the one in the picture
minus the spoke flange. I was also able to make it a little larger diameter
and put in high speed sealed bearings and it was a lot
If you are wondering why this hub failed, you might consider how you are
using it compared to what it was designed for. These ball bearing hubs were
designed for 26-28 diameter wheels that travel at a maximum or 50 mph or

I just make sure a few fellow SOAR members like Sneidley or Jim are at the
field and then I don't need to bring much. :-)
Seriously though, on a good day amongst all at the field we can take care
of just about anything.

Has anyone here ever heard of a continuous loop sailplane winch? The setup
would look something like this:
http://www.vvsss.com/ezone/clwinch.gif
Continuous loops are used with dog lure machines, which are virtually
identical to sailplane winches, and pulleys made for the purpose are
available
I remember an article in Model Builder or RCM many years ago where they did a setup like that. The major problem to solve was the extra line drag on the ground.
This was waaay back before Rahm was making winches, and before retrievers were in widespread use.
Doc
I guess the first problems that come to mind are:
-The tow lines getting tangled in the turnaround and the winch each time it
passes those points.
-Fixing line breaks...The length of the line is critical. I guess a strap
of some kind could be used from winch to turnaround and back that is far
