<DIV>I would think the Harbor Freight "Marine Winch" would work for you. I have had one of the "power in only " versions for a long time and used it quite a bit without problems. The Marine version powers in and out, and has a crank in case there is no power. 2000 lb pull capacity should be more than enough for rolling load of an MGA. You would want the No. 61237 as it has a longer hand crank than the 61876. I just bought one to add to my pop up to raise and lower the top. I will also use it to load a small boat onto the camper.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just my opinion. </DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'd like to add a winch to my car trailer. I use the car trailer to haul an MGA vintage race car. Hopefully I'll always be able to drive the car onto the trailer but it seems like a winch might be good insurance... </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I see low-priced units at Harbor Freight & Northern Tool and higher priced Warn units. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Two questions. 1) anyone have experience with the HF or NT low priced winches? B) how much winch do I need? I see them from "2500 lbs" to "9000 lbs". </FONT></DIV>
