    Finally got around to putting on the new Warn motor, I didn't have any issues with the DB Starter motor and it will survive on the front of Gumby's 45lv ;) This was just too good of deal to pass up on a brand new Warn motor - Tucker

    Upgrade - Picked this up from someone upgrading to a 9.5XP motor, brand new take off ;) The DB Starter motor hasn't let me down, just didn't like the idea it might. Tucker

    So I got the cables ... all I can say is OVERKILL ... trying to figure out how to make the lugs work :p Tucker

    I'm just making sure my system is rated to handle this: Since you are already over the max amp rating with a 2000lb pull, I'd say the 2 ga. cables Warn sells are somewhat less than ideal. With 4/0 AWG cables and a 500 amp rated switch, I should never run into any issues ;) Overkill maybe ...

    It's all about how much redundancy you want, I've read an 8274 pulls 350 amps continuous under load with a peak over 500 amps. 4/0 AWG can support 450 amps continuous, 2 ga. can support 150 amps. Tucker

    Update - So I was lucky enough to source a old-style 4-pin connector from 1911 here and use this out at Katemcy for the LSLC Roundup, but not in an ideal setup. All I could find locally was 2 ga. cables for automotive starter applications, which wasn't the ideal setup under load :frown: So...

    Hate it when threads die with no conclusion, so here's my finished 8274 ready for 20 more years of abuse. All and all I'm prolly in this for about what you would pay for the new generation of Chinese winches, so think twice before you pass on that basket case ... you could have a and affordable...

    Update: Some teaser shots for you guys, was hopoing to have it fully operational for a wheeling trip last weekend but didn't get it done. Ran into issues with an Aussie locker install and had to order different thickness thrust washer shims ... long story short I was assembling a differential...

    I'll be four bills in all done, not cheap but like new w/o the $2k price ;). Your easiest route is $300-400 on a running used one that needs less work, I love a challenge though - Tucker

    I've made a little progress, still waiting on parts (but my fault) from GB. Here's some pics of everything except the brake, motor, and clutch assembled :) I think it's turning out pretty well from where I started :D :cheers: Tucker

    Brass drift and a BFH ;). You could also try electrolytic rust removal if you've removed the shaft, did you get the keys out? Tucker

    Update - So I got all the parts back from the powder coating a few weeks ago, finally go a little time to play with it. Everything was soda blasted to remove the grease, then hit with aluminum oxide to remove the rust. I had the case & brake components done silver, and the drum black. Not...

    Just looking at my top cover in the sunlight I was able to decifer the serial number and date for the first time. It S/N 277860 and date code IO5, meaning it was built on 9/12/75. That's pretty cool since my 40 was one of the first '76 models with a '9/75 manufacture date. These two were just...

    Never got around to posting the final pics from the disassemble, here's the brake and upper housing pictures: Brake parts and gears: Lower housing: Few new parts I've been gathering: The amazing part is only the motor, motor bearing, and clutch were seized. I could...

    My thoughts exactly :D Was able to get the brake apart yesterday after about a week of soaking in PB Blaster. The only piece I've yet to disassemble is the clutch, eying the billet Gigglepin replacement if I can't get it to separate. So far I've sourced new bearings for the top case...

    It's actually not as bad as it looks, it's more of a waxy rust-colored emulsion and not just rust ;) We'll see how it cleans up after blasting - Tucker

    Heck if I know, that stuff looked like the sidewalk after a bad night of drinking when I dumped out the case :hillbilly: Tucker
