The WARN 73850 Standard Hawse Fairlead winches with a 4,000 lb pull capacity or greater. It is forged from cast iron with a durable black finish. It is suitable for use with wire or synthetic rope. The part helps with spooling and protects the cable from getting pinched. It will also act as a pivot point for the cable if you need to hook up at an unusual angle to winch yourself out.
