Samson winch

Hi all

fired up sammy yesterday to winch a stuck tractor out of our field

winch worked fine when paying out, but then kept stopping when winching in. Releasing the brake & lever. Then depressing it again & winching on resulted in the cable being winched in more, but eventually clouds of smoke drifted out of the compartment. Any ideas? The winch was not being overloaded.

I know that the winch brake is a car clutch assembly, is that the likely issue? I will check drake fluid levels, but if they are low what fluid should I use? I know the main & steering brakes use mineral oil, but will the winch brake use this as well?
