Needed a tow for this truck

Got this for my son for Christmas and he absolutely loved it! Played with it for a couple days and then the winch broke. So we fixed and it broke again. The "tow rope" gets wrapped in the plastic cylinder and then it's stuck. It's a pain to fix. The lights and sound work well, it came with some neat little construction cones. I might just fix it so that the length of tow rope doesn't change. My son still loves it, but would love it more if the tow rope worked.
