I'll be doing a rebuild with new motor and Albright contactor. This one will go a FJ60. I've almost completed a similar rebuild on another 8274 that will be going back on the FJ40.
Good man to save it and bring it back to life.

Curious about this. Care to share contactor info?
^^^^@flintknapper posted the link where I detailed my conversion.
I used a Superwinch contactor, that is NLA. These days, you have a choice of Warn or genuine Albright contactors. There is a thread in this forum where someone posted a current source in the U.S. for the British-made Albright contactors; I'll try and find it tomorrow (about to go to bed now).
built several 8274 using the superwinches contactor, like 1911 said its NLA. Instead of overpaying the warn one i took a gamble and bought on amazon. see link Amazon product ASIN B07X7KQNXH@flintknapper posted the link where I detailed my conversion.

I have one for both cruisers. I rebuilt the one on my 40 a year ago. Both work great and look awesome. I’ve replaced both steel cables with synthetic rope.

I love the look of a good bumper with an 8274
$75 winch has been broken down. Process started with cutting the motor shaft because it was frozen to the bearing.

Since you will be replacing the motor and pinion gear anyway, I highly recommend the 9.5XP motor, it really makes a huge very noticeable improvement. It will be the most expensive part of your whole winch, but worth it!
Was perusing a snowcat forum, and lookie what I see:
