Input on this winch I'm trying to buy; photo (1 Viewer)

[High Desert]

I've been looking at this 8274, owner has been saying what good shape it's in. Claims it's not been used at all, "was only on a rig for a few weeks".

Obviously it is on a home made reciever mount, Obviously it is green from being exposed to moisture. The back of the selenoid pack is rusty looking, it Looks like the cable is in good condition except it is green..

I asked for a photo and this is what I got..no front side photo, he does not want to fool around with a front side photo (reason enough to forgetaboutit..but he's a old guy and is pissed nobody has snatched up his "perfect winch")...

Anyway do any of you guys see anything just jumping out at ya that is wrong with it...He is asking $600, it does not have a roller fairlead..

I've emailed for a front side photo..don't thik I'll get it cause I think he thinks he'll only sell it for $600, I'm thinking $500 if that.

It is 160 miles to where the winch is so I'm not gonna drop by and check on it with out spending some big ga$ money...

Just thought I'd see what people think..


So I could not get the @#**!! thing to shrink down small enough to post up..you gotta go to the link below to see it:

600 hundred seems high. If you keep your eyes peeled you can prolly find one cheaper in the 400 and lower range. Personally I picked up mine for 250 at a yard sale, there out there! Good luck, hope it works out.

Looks pretty good. $500 would be a better price. You might find one for less, but you might have to look a long time.

I would snag it for the $500 to $550 range. It would look brand new witha scrub brush and some water. The mounting plate is probably worth $50 to $100 by itself plus it has the remote.
