We provide a detailed investigation of the fluctuations of the currents in the discrete model of Feynman's ratchet proposed by Jarzynski and Mazonka in 1999. Two macroscopic currents are identified, with the corresponding affinities determined using Schnakenberg's graph analysis. We also investigate full counting statistics of the two currents and show that fluctuation theorem holds for their joint probability distribution. Moreover, fluctuation-dissipation relation, Onsager reciprocal relation and their nonlinear generalizations are numerically shown to be satisfied in this model.
