Hyster D2N question

The front mounted cable control #24?? I had for a while had a fine thread hole tapped in the drum and a bolt with an anchor plate clamped the end of the cable to the drum. My problem was the threads in the hole in the drum weren’t very good.

The ferrule attaches easily to the wire with quick wedges so I got that part. Where the ferrule and wire attach to the drum on the side there is a slot for the ferrule and wire to begin winding. There is a tapped hole directly under where the ferrule sits in the side of the drum but no way showing in manual to attach and hold in place. That is what I need to know.

Thanks for help guys......Bill

Haven't seen one in 20+ years but it seems to me it was a small 1/4" metal tab that went over the ferrule to retain it in the side of the Drum? There is not any load on it, do to the friction of the cable on the Drum doing the pulling.

I checked my D2N manual and it did not refer to any locking tab or capscrew in the parts list for the drum, which is where it would be listed. Seems like a miss on Hyster's part.

This should help explain what I am dealing with. I'm betting its simple but...…….

My D4E winch has a semicircular pocket that the ferule drops into so under tension it can't slide sideways back out. I wonder if the ears for such a pocket have worn or broken off?

I have a D2N at home too so I can check it too.

Mine looks similar to yours but no hole for a bolt anywhere. I had to weld a bolt on the ferrule and pull it out with the slide hammer so once you take up tension it's in there good
Not sure year date on mine but I have the serial number
One slot is for overwound and one is for underwound

Yes my D2N has little nubs that keep the ferule in place as long as there is some tension on it. The are not too proud, but they are there.

Perhaps you can build them up with the welder?
