Like many on this list, I have changed my Fulton 1550 winch on my US Towers TX 
455/TRX80 to a 2550 and then a drill driven 3000 worm gear. But the Hawg drill 
ate the winch on the second lifting operation and so I am now looking for a 
good AC winch. Any recommendations?

Been there done that.  I decided to get a real
winch (actually a hoist).  See:

Thanks to W4ABC for introducing me to "hoists" as opposed
to winches.
