Identify this windless.

I had the motor rewound and installed this windless but there are no tags or markings on the castings.

Pretty thing. I don't know what brand it is but I know it's a windlass.

Looks like an Ideal Windless without the cover over the motor. Good windlasses. There will be a letter on the wildcat which you can check with Ideal as to chain type.

Thank you, I have contacted Ideal and they checked with their previous owners and said it's not one of Thiers.

Looks exactly like an Ideal windlass I used to have

It's a nice machine but Ideal said they didn't make it.
