Looking to put a winch in the ARB I just bought. Was looking at the M12000, M15000 or the M16.5.
The asking prices of a new or used 16.5ti seemed to be always be listed higher than I wanted to pay for a used winch.
M12000 were going for $800 for a clapped out one to $1500 for ones that were in nicer shape.
I came across a Kijiji ad for an M15000 and Superwinch of unknown rating for $600 for both. Decided to drive out to Conrich and have a look.
They weren't in the best shape but the M15000 seemed like a good base to start a rebuild. I offered $200 CAD and drove away with the winch. He threw in some 3/8" cable of unknown length. I didn't need it but he said to take it so I did.
I knew it was missing parts but Warn had them all available and they are on order. I will put up the list in another post.
For now this is just the starting pics of the teardown. I'll go in to further detail as I go along.
