Do you happen to have any used parts left over after your rebuild?

I need some used brake pads, the brake ball bearings and some other stuff.

Anyone else have any parts? Clutch assembly, motor bearing, spine shaft.

I have some used parts. I just ended up getting a kit. It is cheaper than buying individual parts.

I have brake discs, the balls and some other brake items. One disc is cracked. The balls are fine. I have all 4 of the original solenoids and the original motor. They work, I'm upgrading.

I upgraded as well and have all the above parts. I’ll be back in VA (where the parts are) at the end of the month.

@cppilot Mark What did you use to clean/polish the housing? Where did you get the new sticker?

 

[cppilot]

Good old elbow grease on the aluminum parts using different aluminum polishing compounds. What ever I had laying around. I think anything will work.

Collins bros Jeep they sell the rebuild kits as well I believe.

Where did you get the winch mounting plate? Did you cut the OEM fender for the fairlead?

All,

I just waded through all 19 pages of this thread, one thing I noticed, none of the '40s have an 8274 mounted with a stock bumper. My question is can the winch be mounted without modifying the stock bumper? I have a roller fairlead and steel cable.

I do not have a winch mounting plate yet.

Suggestions?

something like this.
there are several vendors offering a plate for the 8274.

HiLo Belleview/Warn Winch Mounting Plate with Guard

Note: Low Stock. Possible 2 week added wait time. Added 1/8" to top/bottom length for a bit more clearance with the Bellview winch body and skidplate. Angle of lower skidplate changed to 8 degree to give slightly more clearance under the winch body. Has '8th' hole for use with 8274 winch. Can...

Thanks, I don't have a welder...yet. I was thinking about something that bolts to the stock frame.

I found this, but not clear on how it attaches to the frame.

Warn 8274 Dual Pull Winch Plate

The Barnes 4WD Warn 8274 Dual Pull Winch Plate was an idea born out of necessity. More and more rigs are tackling harder obstacles than ever. With today's super flexible suspension systems it is often helpful to "suck down" the front of your rig so that the suspension will not unload on a steep...

I am new to winching and working to figure out a solution. I have seen the HFS bumper that is ready to go, so I understand the popularity. I just prefer the look of the stock bumper.

There's been a few guys here weld up a plate to go behind the stock bumper. As I recall, one guy even cut a window in the stock bumper for the the fairlead and line. The stock bumper by itself is not heavy-duty enough to hold an 8274, it's just formed sheet metal. The 8274 is a heavy sum-bitch.

Heavy even without the cable!

I wasn't thinking of mounting it to the bumper, like you said, too weak. I was thinking of having the fairlead above or below the bumper, but like I said, I am a total nube when it comes to this topic.

Here is one of the above that I mentioned:

8274 winch bumper plate mount - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/8274-winch-bumper-plate-mount.971177/#post-10798032

If you follow the link to his build thread though, you'll find that he did some substantial welding to reinforce the stock bumper.

Warn made a bracket that sat on top of the frame. I think it was made for Jeep cj's. I used because of the frt bumper style I was using at the time.

 

[pb4ugo]

Obviously I was using a different style winch back the too. I take a pic of the bracket this evening.

"my EXTRA 8274" subtle flex...

Did that arrangement work OK or do you think it's better to mount it lower?

i never used it this way. Just showing pics in case it's something you're interested in or could use.
i recommend a welded mount.
this winch was originally bought for a truck i ended up selling. was never going to use the mount. Just makes storing the winch easier.

 

[pb4ugo]

I believe this is a Warn mount.
