I have two of these, a 1993 2 ton cable and a newer 2015 3 ton AmSteel synthetic rope. The older 2 ton has saved me hours of shovel work pulling out large rhododendron shrub stumps and still works like new. The 3 ton I carry in my off road vehicle. With additional extension lines it makes for a great portable recovery hand winch. Yes they cost much more than the China made hardware store pullers but if you want a far superior quality product that will last years......this is it. Plus, should you ever need it, full parts support is available from the USA factory.
is 1993 the actual year of manufacture or the model type? I have had one from back in the 70s...as a teen..recently bought 3 more locally for around $30 each...can't have too many More Power Pullers !
Thank you for asking, windage. And congratulations on finding 3 more at that price! We agree...you can't have too many More Power Pullers. You probably already know that we have a full line of replacement parts, even for the very oldest models, if you need to make repairs. The model number is not shown on the puller itself, but is determined by the tonnage + the cable length (you would have to measure the cable/rope). The tonnage is shown in raised letters/numbers on the top of the frame, where the cable/rope passes through. Models manufactured in the last 15 years will be 2 TON or 3 TON. By using this, you might determine that you have a Model 2-30 (two-ton with 30 feet of cable), Model 3-20 (3-ton with 20 feet of cable), etc. The location of the date of manufacture depends on the year of puller. The way the date is displayed has changed over the years. If you take a look at our website, under FAQ, near the bottom of the list, you will find How old is my puller? www.wyeth-scott.com/faq.php Starting in 1985, the frame hooks & cable end hooks were stamped with the part number & date. Models manufactured over the last 17 years (since 2001) have the month/year of manufacture stamped into the two rivets that attach the yoke to the frame. The example given, 0205, would be a manufacture date of February 2005. If you are seeing a number 93 on the yoke rivets or on the hooks, then yours was manufactured that year. If you have any other questions, just ask us! We do appreciate your loyalty to our product.
How would you replace the springs on one that's what mine needs and I don't know how to do it and I don't want to mess it up I would appreciate it if you would message me back thank you
Hi, Jeremy. Thanks for asking about the P11 Spring replacement. There are several steps to the process. To replace the spring, the P14 Pawl (the part the spring wraps around) needs to be removed from the puller. To remove the Pawl, there is a P9 Rivet holding it in place that has to be removed. In addition to the Springs, you'll also want to order a replacement P9 for each spring so you can reassemble the Pawl in your puller. These parts are quite inexpensive! To save time, why don't you email us at sales@wyeth-scott.com OR call us at 740/345-4528. You can also look at our website that lists all the parts (and has a diagram) to get an idea of the parts I just referenced. www.wyeth-scott.com We look forward to hearing from you.
i have what looks to be a 3 ton puller with broken cable i see now how to change it but can you give me an approx length of new cable and type of cable that will work best ? we are about to use it for prospecting and we need to move a few rocks around. Thanks!
Hi. Thank you for asking! To determine your model of puller, look at the top of your puller frame (where the rope comes through the hole), & you will see either "3 TON" or "2 TON". Cable would probably be the best option if you are using the puller in an abrasive environment such as prospecting. While the synthetic rope is stronger, lighter in weight, & easier to handle, it IS more susceptible to abrasion. As for length, we have several in cable: 20', 30', 35'. The longer the cable, the more difficult it is to handle & respool. You can order the replacement cable with a new hook on it, or just the cable if you have a hook to reuse. All replacement cables/ropes come with the Rivet/Ferrule (part RF) for attaching to the reel. All replacement parts can be found on our website at www.wyeth-scott.com/orders.php Let us know if you have additional questions.
@@thewyeth-scottcompanymanuf2884 Thank you for your prompt answer. it is stamped 3 ton. Most of the time we will only be moving the boulder a few feet , dredging under it and rolling it back in... i will check out your link!!
I have one of these pullers I bought used 40 years ago and I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't 4o years old when I bought it. Everything on it that moves is worn out. The hook is about ready to pull through the frame. I wouldn't hesitate to weld it up if it wasn't made from cast iron.
Hi, Mark. It sounds like your puller has served you well over the last 40 years. If you think it might be worth repairing, we have all the parts to do it. If you call or email & let us know what parts you need, we can give you a quote on the parts for the repair. 800/743-4521 You can do the repair yourself or we'll do it for you. We are working on producing a few more how-to-properly-use/how-to repair videos. Please keep safety in mind when using a puller that is as worn as yours. Thank you for commenting.

This is what tools are supposed to look like. USA baby....No planned obsolescence here.
YES! Thank you for your comment! We are glad you enjoyed the video of the repair.

Just ordered the 3 ton model today. This puller is gonna beat the pants off of my crappy chinese come alongs.
Thank you, Andrew, for making the switch to an American-made product! Let us know how it works for you.
