I have an old Morris 5CWT hand operated chain hoist that I am renovating and it would help me if anyone has either a parts list for one of these, or instruction sheet that was supplied with them. It is the open square frame type of construction with a single pawl ratchet.

Have a look at Konecranes as they gave merged with Morris and have some spares and parts etc.

Went into Konecranes but you have to register and then they email back asking all questions about your company etc.Too much hassle, so I just stripped the hoist to the bare frame and its now all painted up like new now.

The actual chain hook swivels with no obvious means of checking the bearings, but there is a small grub screw on the side that is tack welded in place. I assume that this is where the ball bearings are fed in to a groove in the hook base. There is no play there, so I will leave well alone and just pump some grease in.

Now I need to clean the chains, which have just slight surface rust. (Not deep, but can be removed with a wire brush, more of a brown stain than rust as such.) Any way of removing it by dropping the chains in a bucket of a certain liquid ?

Others have different preferences, but I find Evaporust works very well for me.
