Hate to see what they may want for it ....​

But I'm glad to know that it's rated at 10,000 lbs, since I have the same 6 hp motor on mine.

I have the 6HP motor on mine as well...I was happy to see that it brought 8274 into the 10K pull power range

So, 1974 (when the 8274 came out) is not 70 years ago. Still a nicely upgraded winch. But at $2500 they will have a tough time selling these.

But it does look like some nicely upgraded components, especially the Albright contactor.

Yeah, the Albrights are a great upgrade. I realize you can buy Albrights (generic stuff) from Summit and others for a decent price, but I wonder if Warn will sell these as a retrofit for our older 8274's??

They sell parts for all of their winches, so I don't see why not - but you're going to pay a pretty penny for the Warn name. When I converted mine to contactor operation 7-8 years ago, the contactor was $100 at Summit or $240 from Warn. The Summit one has worked great all these years (so far).

On motors now, I would recommend spending the money and going Warn. I tried a DB Electric upgraded motor first, because of the low price. Turned out to be a Chinese motor that lasted less than 6 months / one or two wheeling trips before the copper brush contacts fell off the armature. The 6 hp Warn 9.5XP motor was $300 but has always worked flawlessly.

Yes, Im guessing it must mean WARN is 70 years old not the 8274 which was 1974, from what I gather...

I like that they drilled and tapped the main shaft for a bolt and washer setup verses that C clip.....

I bought the Superwinch sealed contactor from Summit Racing for $110...The Warn Albright was just to much to spend.

I just bought another new Warn 6 hp 9.5xp motor for $212 for a second 8274 Im rebuilding...this is one of the best motors to put on the 8274 which Warn has realized now...

Where are you getting that motor at 212$

Ebay, hardpartsfast...they had them for a low price for awhile but looks like there back up to $239.95 now...

Summit racing is $231.99...

 

[gnob]

Cool. That's the best pricing I had seen lately.

 

[woodsman 44]

I like that WARN is using a "bolt and washer" for securing brake assembly on...wonder if they will sell them as separate parts, I would like to convert mine over...

I copied what you did as i found your posts when trying to upgrade my 8274. Still works great after being in a couple wrecks and submerged.
