Rant: that $180 logging winch from the swap meet was a paperweight

Bought it down in Lebanon off a guy who swore it pulled firewood for years, and the drum bearing grenaded on the first real pull with a decent-sized oak. Turns out the housing was cracked and painted over, so I'm out the money and a Saturday pulling a stuck log off the trail. What's your go-to check for used gear before you hand over cash?
