Hey guys! Can any of you identify this winch and its relay setup? (Obviously missing some bits)
Thanks!

I’ve got one. Much cleaner. I was told it’s an aircraft landing gear motor by the local auto electric shop. They’re precision machined with sealed bearings. No Cheasy cheap bushings. Probably about 8000 lb capacity.
They’ll easily drag a vehicle across a muddy field.
Edit:
JAHCO JF4HR WW2 aircraft starter motor

Looks like it was originally 24v. I’m not sure if mine was converted to 12v when it was rewired to be reversible... or if it is a 24v running on 12v.
They also have 8 large brushes... military redundancy.
^^... pretty common in the 70s and 80's. That Phoenix builder sold them through the back ads in the 4x4 magazines.
To all you young folk, that's how it was done before the internet. For same day service you would have to show up at his house
or shop. On the bright side you didn't need to buy a Prime membership to get that one day service. There were version built with
WWII bomber starters also. Good things happen when clever guys have access to surplus yards

there's a lot of truth in the above.
similar to watching old TV shows and you see the actors using payphones
By original design 1/2 the brushes were connected to ground. They are now wired so polarity can be reversed. I once made the mistake of reversing the load direction, and it messed up the armature a bit.Landing gear motor makes more sense. Think it would require quite a gear box to step it up fast enough to start a jet engine. Do believe it is military. We use to have Williams Field in Mesa and still have Luke in the west valley. Know there a military auctions in area. Could see these being sold off in lots stacked on a pallet. Have see if there is a data plate on mine. I'm ashamed to say I bought this cruiser in 94 and have never even started. Price it was offered to me I could pass up. Did put a charged battery in the cruiser to load it on a car hauler when bought it. Winch worked find but only forward on mine. Never looked into it enough to see if the case is ground or if adding extra solenoids could get it to power out. Generally run PTO winches and have a few other electric winches area.
