I went through a BUNCH of threads on 8274 winch builds and motor upgrades. Seems like the most popular motor upgrade is the 68608 from the 9.5 XP. I see that the 70865 is a 15K industrial application but no real specs available.
Also I see conflicting information out there on the 68608 HP rating. I have seen 4.5 HP and 6.0 HP specs given for the same part number depending on who's selling it. Anybody know for sure?
Amazon shows the 68608 country of origin is China. I haven't read anything bad at all about the 68608, I'd just like to know the actual HP and is it made in U.S.A or China?
I found nothing as far as specs for the 70865. I just see it listed as 6HP on some threads. Nothing on country of origin.
I saw that a couple MUDD members have it on their 8274. For those that are running the 70865 do you feel it was worth the difference in price from the 68608? Do you have any feedback to offer?
