TOPIC: Tee Nee TeePee ratchet

How do you guys solve this problem. The ratchet doesn't hold even if I hold it in place. Right now I'm holding the crank in place with a bungie cord.

Ok from the picture the bolt head and lock looks square and not rounded. If either the stop or the head are rounded you might try filing or grinding them to bringing them square.(yes this is yell on your paint).
Another thing are you sure the rope is on the winch spool the correct way. So the locking mechanism will hold.
I have never seen on of these that will not hold.

Thanks. Not worried about paint, just a rattle can quick splash to hold down rust and get to the show next weekend. I configured a temp fix for now by just inserting a shaft through the spool hole with a clinch pin. The rope is would correctly, I think the configuration is just worn out and needs a refresher

you dont have the rope wound the wrong direction causing the lock to be turning the wrong direction do you? I only ask because I did that the first time I wrapped mine.

Cal...somewhere is there a power pole missing that nut thing???
