In hind sight I shoulds sued a back up wrinch stead of just twisting on it hard. It was plastic and 5 or more years old. So now I have a new short hose and no reel. Time to step back and figure how to rerig the hose. Peg never liked winding it up anyways.
In all my years of fixin stuff....I have concluded that nothing is easy......I am making a Lowe's trip today also.....that's the easy part....
