Ya I plan on running the stock motor as my truck is 12V and the winch 12V as well.
Picked this up today off the original owner. Gotta keep the elements off in winter!

The 8274 got a little action today rescuing a dock cart …
Yup - dang drought keeps taking more of it 😕
Yeah, about like 4 years ago.
Most of my family live out there. But Travis can fill again quickly with good local rain and rain 'up the country'.
Seen it happen many times in my lifetime.
Exactly why I was winching the cart up to the top of the stairs. Had to disconnect because waterline below stairs, but if you leave it at the bottom you can get caught out if it raises quickly and your cart is strapped at the bottom of your stairs.

Greetings! I'm wondering where you got your rev 2 decal. It's exactly what I'm looking for aside from the wrong city on the bottom.

Yes, it is an 8274. It was manufactured on August 6th, 1975.
It needs a complete tear down and inspection.
My WARN 8274 rebuild part 1.....
Bought this Warn 8274 new in 1983 and have been using it pretty hard the last 24 years. Recently I decided to split the case, change the oil, and install fill and drain plugs (something I’ve been meaning to do for years). As you can see…it was in dire need of some TLC, but it was still...

So what methods are you guys using to connect a remote when using the Albright Contactor?
same as solenoids. im using the oldee 3 wire remotes on mine.
This is a good reference site with parts WARN M8274-50 Truck Winch Parts - https://www.montanajacks.com/collections/warn-m8274-truck-winch-parts?page=1 but parts are also available through other sources.
Same here.
There are some threads here that show how other folks have wired and mounted a contactor instead of the four solenoids:

Love the color! Did you have in powder coated?
Winch is in and currently working on getting it wired. Contemplating upgrading the 4g to 2g but still undecided. The old remote and socket is 4 pin and it needs to be replaced so that’s on the to-do list.
