Was able to spend a little time over the holiday weekend making a bit of progress on this project. Got the fairlead rollers polished as best I could on a 8" brass steel wheel on my grinder: This is what they looked like before: Compared to what they looked like before, that's quite an...

@PIP I got the contactor, but it looks like it won't quite fit in the control housing of a M15000. I'm shy about 1/4" in being able to put the plastic cover back in. Some pics: Anyone else with a M15000 (or presumably M12000) with this contactor figure out how to shoehorn it in? I'm...
