A self-contained winch, comprising:
- a combustion engine;
- a transmission assembly having a transmission drive and a power drive connected to the combustion engine, the power drive having a first power gear and a second power gear, and the transmission drive including a first transmission gear and a larger second transmission gear;
- a rotatable transmission knob located on top of the transmission assembly which connects to a cantilever through a shaft, the transmission knob capable of turning the cantilever which toggles the transmission drive either towards or way from the combustion engine such that in one setting the transmission drive engages the first transmission gear while at a second setting the transmission drive engages the second power gear;
- a gear assembly which connects to the transmission drive of the transmission assembly;
- and
- a spool located between the first side wall and second side wall which is connected to the gear assembly, the spool capable of winding and unwinding a cable.
