My fiver's spare tire is stored under the trailer using a device similar to (or maybe the same as) the system used to store a pick-up's spare under the PU bed. Don't know the official name of the device, but I'd call it a spare tire winch (a cable, crank, and wheel holder/bracket assembly).

Two plastic parts on mine broke, so now the cable is bound on the spool, and the device no longer works. Mine was made by Deuer Manufacturing Co of Dayton Ohio. (I'll call them tomorrow, to inquire as to where I can get a new one.)

Has anybody else had this problem? If so, where did you get a replacement, and do you recall the approximate price? Is there a better quality replacement part (one that would last longer than the three years my original equipment winch lasted?

Thanks for any and all responses.

Last one I needed, for a TV, I got in a junk yard. I took it out, I think I paid $20 for everything. You might call a junkyard.
