I used fastenal and/or McMaster Carr
my uncle handed down an 8274 that had been my grandfather's until he died in 84, then my grandmother's til she died in 89, and then my uncles until last week. it has been sitting in my uncles shop since 1990 or so.
cracked the 8274 open this weekend to see how the guts have fared over the last 25 year. well, if it weren't for bad luck, i'd have no luck at all. the free spool clutch gear thingamajig (motor pinion gear, maybe) appears to be rusted/fused to the motor armature shaft and will not come off, nor can i remove the motor shaft from the upper casing.
also, once i pulled the lock plate/retainer ring up to free the spool from the lower case, the spool refuses to turn loose.
i was hoping that the guts would be easy to remove and somewhat simple to restore. but, now i'm scratching my head about how to get all the old parts out without further damaging them or the casing.
i was figuring about $100 for the lower spool seal kit and brake service kit. now, it looks like most of the innards would also need to be replaced just to make it operational.
at any rate, would anyone care to suggest how to get the motor pinion gear off the motor shaft as well as how to convince the spool to turn loose of the main gear?
thanks in advance
Does anyone know the sizes and any alternative sources for the needle bearings on the lower case, and the bearing used at the motor shaft?
I hate to pay $40 to warn for something I can get for $4 somewhere else.
Thanks in advance.
I greased mine before I put it back together. But keeping gear oil in it and keeping rotated every couple months will work.
So . . . I just busted a post off one of my solenoids. Does anybody have experience using SuperWinch contactors? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SPW-90-14452/

1911 - Rad! Ordered and shipped. Summit Racing does it again. Any thoughts on fitting it under the Warn cover?
