Jeff,
I remember reading about these winches on the Web a few years ago; they have a good reputation, as I recall.
Go to www.google.com and type hickey sidewinder winch into the search field. It will bring up a few hits. It looks like Advance Adapters *may* have sold them for a while, so you might check withthem to see if their "Sidewinder" winches were actually the Hickey units (wouldn't be the first time they bought rights to something and kept them available -- the Borg-Warner/Saturn overdrive, for example).
Good luck repairing it. Sounds like a neat old winch.
Regards,
