Rebuilt both of mine, great winches and the used ones are getting hard to find at a reasonable price.

This was new on my dad's 1976 F-250. It went from there to his 1980 Power Wagon, then to his '86 K20 pickup, then to his '93 Dodge Ram 3/4 ton. That was his last truck. I got this winch in 2002. It lives in an ARB Commercial Bar. It it designed for fleet 80's without flares and the 8274.

Thinking about it, I don't recall having to modify the ARB the mount the winch, but at my age I have a hard time remembering what I did yesterday... So I pulled out the receipt and discovered my bar was purchased setup for the 8274. I think I might have had to order it, but not sure.
date code? seems late for the metal plug?
whoa! that is the lowest serial # and earliest date code, 1975, I have seen yet, congrats on keeping old girl pulling !

CMCC 2018 trial run on the 8274
Does that motor just bolt in or do u have to modify the housing?Rebuilt 8274 with gigundo 16k motor and custom tie-bar in the back:
Here she is.
My latest rebuild...a necklace for my 76 driver.
Nice work!
What goes together better than an FJ40 and a Warm 8274?
It gets worked too. This was a firewood getting trip. So I keep a steel line on it.
Had it rebuilt by warn about 5 years ago. Works so well now. Love it.

Bolts in with the appropriate gear. Super strong motor, and the thermal protection switch is a nice feature too.
I used my 8274 to winch out a dead and buried 7000# skidsteer from the front yard of my house. Single line pulls, took about an hour. Had to strap the rear of the truck to a tree. Only issue was that the charging system couldn't keep up, lol.
What gear did u use? Yeah I bet that sucker takes a lot of amps.
My 8274 bought new in 1983. Freshened it up about 10 years ago.
My WARN 8274 rebuild part 1.....
Still going strong 36 years later. I have it on my '70 model 1/2 Cab and have used it many, many times to extract people, move things, etc....
IMO one of the best winches ever made. Thinking seriously about getting a new one for my Cruiser.
