MACKS Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Hey fellow dump truckers I need a new tarp motor and forgot what I bought last time,does 50/1 gear reduction sound right,don’t want one a slow poke,Carolina tarp has one for 129 with excellent reviews,that’s a great price I think..

mrgumby Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Ya 50 or 60 to 1 is about right they have a high torque that’s a higher ratio but 129 is a good price they are all made out of country china or where ever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make a habit of putting an inline circuit breaker..saves the motor and switch..if it pops up I know I have a short or drawing to much amperage , as when trying to wind it in going down the road.usually people don't stop trying to wind until they see smoke..lol Edited July 25, 2022 by R.E.D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
