The 8274

[Cheepjeep85]

well i got the winch finally, and the original warn mounting plate. i'm going to start rebuilding it tommorrow, i've been looking for parts for the dang thing and i can't seem to find em anywhere its like warn just done away with all of the info on their website. i couldn't even find the case seals online.

I called a local motor shop today and they said they could rebuild it, but i don't know where they'll get parts. i of course would like to find a set of brushes to put in it and see if that doesn't fix it before i pay someone else to do what i can do.
what do yall think about this NEW 12V Winch Motor for WARN Keyed Shaft HEAVY DUTY 8274 LPL0015: LPL0015 / AMT0404 - KEYWAY OPN FCE MTR DB Electrical Starter-Alternator

oh and i got the winch for $000,000, just gotta help my little brother put a sbc in a s-10. probably shoulda just gave him $AMC 150 for it but i woulda helped him anyway.

i think i'm going to clean all of the connections first (as previously mentioned), then bolt it to the jeep and see if that fixed the problem.

Hard to say, but all the feed back sound good.
Check this out. I know it's cost prohibitive but I can dream.

well i found out what was wrong with the motor on this thing. i pulled it apart and everything inside was covered in rust, its a miracle it even ran at all. the brushes are spring loaded they where in good shape but rusted solid so they wouldn't move against the armature, the armature itself where it makes contact with the magnet that surround it was solid rust. i cleaned it all up and got it moving freely i haven't tried it out yet but i hope it works. if not i'll go ahead and buy a new motor
