does any one know where I can get the round knob to engage and disengage the winch. It is the round one I need and is a 3/8-16 thread not the t handle that summit sells that is a smaller thread size. I want to keep it stock looking.
Good hardware stores have a variety of knobs.

Thanks looks like what I want
I compared it to the OEM and it's so close to being a perfect match I can't tell any difference. BTW: I'm elbow deep in my own 8274 resto:

I saw this the other day and it looks pretty nice. I have had a 8274 in the past and loved it but this peaked my interest. Similar upright design and spur gear drive like the 8274, dual motors, waterproof and FAST.

14hp, I would hope it was fast. Also: $4000 + Freight. But you do get that really cool personalized name plate.

Never said it was cheap.
It was designed with the competition scene in mind since ComeUp is a primary sponsor for the Rain Forest Challenge where there's probably more winching than wheeling. That explains the speed and the power. Pretty sure the plate is just a protective shield that can be removed.

He's talking about the bling you get next to the serial number, not the top. That's a ridiculous price in my book. I can completely rebuilt a 8274 for under a grand, including purchase price... And the mounting holes are 3" wider than 8274, so new/modified bumpers for us all too to even run it...
Never said it was cheap.
Yeah, I know. I was just posting the price so anyone reading the thread wouldn't need to go web site hopping to find it. Anyway, $4k is definitely not in my budget. And I don't think that includes the syn rope either.
My current rebuild will be going in a portable mount from Davesport:
I've already got a 'new' old 8274 on the front (yeah, it's a Jeep):

Carry on. I deleted my response since it may have seemed argumentative and there's no reason to argue anything. 8274's are cool. I think the Blazer looks cool too. Expensive and the personalized plate is probably frivolous but for the comp guys that use the winch, maybe it's cool?
I may go the drill and tap route on my brake shaft. Haven't decided. Also haven't decided whether to go the fill and drain plug route either. Anyway, when I make a bit more progress, I'll be starting a thread with all my pics.

Had aluminum sandblasted and spool sandblasted then had the spool powder coated black and aluminum grey i was pleased with the results of the finish. I plan on synthetic rope to keep the paint on the spool. Well at least for a little while.

Without having to search all the posts: Which contactor is that? Is it the Superwinch one? What sort of parts are you using for the remote plug? Do you have part numbers for them?
