Is this a warn 8274? I have serial $

[Bryan062087]

Considering buying a warn upright winch on ebay. The seller does not know if it is a 8274 or not. The serial # is 258502. Does anyone know the answer?

I called warn to ask them but they are closed for the holidays. Auction ends today, so I need to know.

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section.

It doesn't match the serial numbers on their site for an 8274.

Warn Industries - Replacement Parts

It may be an earlier version or it may have been sold through a 2nd party. Jeep used to badge Warn winches as Jeep winches. I know of at least one earlier version that is identical to an 8274, but without a manual release handle (I think it is an 8273).

Have you got something more? Photo?

Hopefully you are not talking about that beat up piece of s*** from the new seller allegedly in Hew Hampshire making the claim that the winch was installed from the factory on the front of a 40 series...

Here's a link. Hopefully no one buys it out from under me.

Yep, that's an 8274. Doesn't look too bad, from what I can see. Don't know about the serial #. Could have been sold by Jeep, as I mentioned before. Looks to have a later model motor and a late model relay box/remote. Could be a good buy if not damaged. I see it's pickup only. Brandon, Miss close by?

Good Luck.

Thanks guys.

Hopefully I'll get to buy it. Although I'm concerned about exactly how I'm going to mount it on the front of my 62.

I think you need a bumper specifically designed to mount an 8274 on a 60-series. It'll stick out a bit.

Did you win it, Bryan?

no i didnt, the price went way up in the last few minutes of bidding. I was just trying to get it cheap.

Thanks for the help though, although i guess it was pointless in the end.
