How does one determine the age of their Warn winch

dixie_cragger · 06-02-08, 10:38 AM

I recently purchased a used Warn 12k and I made sure the motor worked before i purchased it (have yet to test the solenoid box). I was curious to know if there was any way I could determine it's age either by the serial or model number. From my research so far, my model number is 26626 and i think it's an older model. Anybody know? Does $450 sound like a fair price (did not come with a fairlead or cables from the solenoid box to motor but did come with a remote and battery cables)?

Look for the "Born on date".

Kidding. I'd guess a 5 digit S/N is pretty old, but $450 isn't bad if it's still working!

Here's the parts list/exploded view from Warn.
