warn mx12085 refresh (2 Viewers)

[gnob]

may as well share.
scored this guy for $150. simply too cheap.

i believe these are the original m12. unfortunately its not really clear when warn first started building planetary winches. based on info i can find, im thinking it was 85
finding the original solenoid cover in good shape is obviously rare. i need to get a remote plug.
she fired right up when I put power to it. one of the field terminals was super crusty so it was a little slow one way.

 

[gnob]

tore into it yesterday. other than the one terminal, one motor screw was kind of hard coming out. also broke 2/3 tie rods because of the rust.
motor is actually in really good shape showing barely any use.
the original tie rods are steel. everything new is aluminium. i decided to remake these vs buying the new stuff. because A) steel vs aluminium. B) the new parts aren't bolt in anyway. C) they're fücking obscenely priced.
plan is to refinish, add the Albright, cables, rope and remote.

 

[gnob]

weight with and without cable. she a big gurl.

clip of firing her up.

@gnob Man how i wish you live with in driving distance, I could use some coaching when it comes to rebuilding winches. I currently have a couple of winches that needs a tear down or partial rebuild to make it work one is a Ramsey and a Warn Xd9000. Thanks for posting makes me want to just tear it down and get it going just a lot on my plate lately.

What are you going to put it on when it's done?

these really are simple machines. warns parts diagrams are super helpful. patience helps if you get a crusty one.

there's always Zoom for worst case scenario

i need a squarebody crew to bolt it on.
guy said this came off a wrecker.

 

[gnob]

got some hardware and finished my crossbars.
tapping shyt by hand brings the suck
sorry this project is slow

 

[Jarred]

Way to go!

 

[gnob]

i finished disassembly of this guy.
started some cleaning and paint.
the motor needed a stud for one of the field positions. local shop.
make sure you don't drop the 85 ball bearings. Just when you though the 12 in the 8274 were a pita. the parts diagram specs 85. i found 89. will see upon reassemble.
seriously big planetary.

 

[gnob]

about ready for reassembly

 

[aztoyman]

Lookin good. Did you figure out the ball count yet? Ball BEARINGS.

 

[gnob]

not yet.
pretty certain I didn't lose any.
planning to go back together this week.
so I will find out soon enough.

[gnob]

finished this guy up today.
the 89 ball bearing thing was ghey.
use super sticky grease. i ended putting it in the freezer to finish.

 

[gnob]

on a little side note.
this motor runs harder pulling, by design. ive personally not seen this before. threw me off a bit.

 

[aztoyman]

How does that work?

 

[gnob]

How does that work?

edit for clarity.

i guess its actually typical in a starter type motor.

Dc motor spinning faster in one direction than the other

The title says it all, but basically I have a 24volt dc 150watt motor that is hooked up to 2 12V9AH sealed lead batteries that is spinning faster in...
