Missing trailer part

[sasqman]

I hate asking questions like this, but I'm missing a part from my trailer and not sure what it is for or where it is? Any ideas? Is it just a spring assist handle? No worries?

Thanks Casper. I couldn't find a BC dealer for these parts though. Any idea what the purpose is? Is it not safe to tow without it? I am gonna buy a new winch, but just curious on the purpose?

Should just be a brake to control the release when you have it freespooling out.
