Also guys where is the best location to put filler and drain plug?

You can buy from www.gigglepin4x4.net a freespool and filler plug in one.

Else I grafted mine in the side and put a plug in the bottom for draining rapidly in the field.

Pictures when I next see my BJ75 jungle truck.

This is the handbag truck with a OLD 8274 also fitted with a WARN 6HP motor and about to have the www.gigglepin4x4.net upgraded shaft and BOW 2 motor fitted and the freespool/filler kit next saturday morning I hope.

A simple split collar machined to lock into the snap ring groove, as well as clamp onto the entire exposed surface of the shaft.

Now that is cool much better than the c clip.

i did a fill plug at the top and a drain at the bottom.
when refilling only put the amount of oil in that is recommended.
as Cicak says, makes for a quick and easy oil change ... i know of VERY few people that ever check the oil let alone change it out.

I checked the handbags 8274 last weekend on the side of the road as we had to put a spacer into the motor - we dropped the freespool dog gear in by mistake and had to tip the winch up and guess what NO OIL came out only 3-4 drops of water sigh after it was installed by a reputable 4x4 shop after I rebuilt it. we filled it on the roadside installed the freespool cog and then the motor (along with silicon) and went into the trail lucky we checked it we did 15+ hard pulls each way on the track. and also they notorious for filling with water.

the drain plug and fillers allow trackside drain/refill

Nice work. I would be keen on one also.

Looking at producing a run of these... stainless or zinc plated (much less expensive)?

 

[Douglas S]

I would go for stainless myself. Zinc plated parts don't last where I am.

 

[ForealBoreal]

Stainless

I hate that C-clip. I'd love to have a split collar if/when you decide to produce/sell them.

Have followed your Tundra build for a long time. Amazing rig.

Thanks.

 

[darnold87]

Please keep us updated on the split collar... Thanks!

 

[dhutcheson]

I am new an discovered the thread looking for information on rebuilding a 8274. I am in for a split collar as well

 

[heyisTi]

those are some nice winch, im currently looking for one.

These are about 1 month out. The last thing I need to do is is figure out the difference between the older pre 98 non-wave washer brake, and the post 98 brake that uses the wave washers. I don't have access to an older model, anyone know/have the differences in where the room for the wave washers is made?

 

[Ambrew]

I have my 81'model apart right now. what measurement do you want exactly? pm me.

 

[LittleRock80]

These are about 1 month out.

Great!

I've got an newer model 8274-50, so unfortunately cannot help you with the measurement you need.
