    I am cleaning out my fathers estate and found this in the basement... anyone know what it is? There is a Ford logo under the crank but I didn't get it in the picture.

    Looks to me like someones rope winder, possibly a hand winch for an anchor, want it up in a hurry, place trans in 3rd gear!
    You wana look waaay far up da road and plan yer route because the brakes are far more of a suggestion than a command!

      Welcome to the Forum

      That is a transmission FYI, and sure is neat and very different. I agree with Wiz that It is used for winding something up.
      I'm sure others will chime in

        It's a replacement for a BROKEN Garage Door Opener-----

      I'd guess the clutch disc is to be used as a brake, but I don't see anything to press against it. The spool supports don't look heavy enough for it to be used as a hand winch on a wrecker, so the only thing I can think of is maybe it was used to lift up the large door in the top end of the barn, where hay was loaded.
