<div class="bbWrapper">Guys,<br /> <br /> I horse-traded into an old Belleview winch with burned up motor. I&#039;ll check brushes and commutator first, but assuming the motor is burned up what is the smart thing to do? Any idea what it might cost to have it rewound?<br /> <br /> Thanks,<br /> Chilly</div>

He has rebuilt motors &amp; some parts for most of those early winches.<br /> <img src="/community/smilies/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Grin :D" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="/community/smilies/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Grin :D" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="/community/smilies/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Grin :D" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="/community/smilies/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Grin :D" data-shortname=":D" /></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Great tip, thanks. And he has other cool stuff that I could use someday.<br /> <br /> I think I&#039;ll check with a somewhat-local rewind shop but his price is tolerable. I don&#039;t have actual money into the winch so I can spend a little if need be.<br /> <br /> I don&#039;t have cables but the previous owner says he always winched from the bumper anyhow. I think it includes the fairlead and mount for a CJ. It&#039;s still under his bench but I might pick it up today so I can get working on it.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">BTW - Warn stocks many of their old parts for their winches.</div>

Warn hasn&#039;t stocked any of those old parts for winches or hubs for quite some time......all the early parts for the Bellview and early Warn models like the #5721-8000 are pretty much non existent.<br /> One company , 4-wheel center in Minnesota did have a few odds and ends a while back and Herm does have a source for some of those early motors.<br /> <img src="/community/smilies/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Grin :D" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="/community/smilies/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Grin :D" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="/community/smilies/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Grin :D" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="/community/smilies/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Grin :D" data-shortname=":D" /></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Opened up the motor and found two of the four brush pigtails were blown open and lots of not-small pieces of armature winding were laying about. Maybe three pieces an inch long and more little shards. Field windings may have suffered some scraping and smearing but I&#039;m hoping they&#039;re OK. <br /> <br /> What I can see of the gears looks good, though the old oil has turned to brown waxy paste. Makes me wonder if someone replaced oil with light grease or a mixture of the two (an old trick for leaky Gravely garden tractor implement gearboxes). <br /> <br /> The brake drum needs some serious de-rusting on the brake running surface and the band brake lining is no longer attached to the band. Maybe 2&quot; of the end of the brake lever is broken off but I have the piece so I&#039;ll see if I can get it brazed or welded, though I&#039;m not too hopeful for cast aluminum. But I know a darned good welder, maybe the best in more than a few states.<br /> <br /> Bearings seem dry. If I fix the motor it would seem the ultimate expression of foolishment to not spend a little money on some new bearings. And by completely tearing it down I can put a shine on the old girl.<br /> <br /> Later,<br /> Chilly</div>
