Warn winch rebuild question--8274 gear, Should I replace this one? PICS Included

[vtcruiser60]

This is the small gear in the upper housing. It is showing a great deal of wear, although no other gear in the case has any similar wear. Should I try to replace it or just run it?

Pics included....

Either that was a bad casting, or it rusted at some point? If you can get a replacement, I would replace it.

Yea man go for the gear replacement, I would hate to see that fail in the wrong place. I have an old 8274 in parts that I am going to rebuild, it looks like Warn sells all the parts one my need to fix/rebuild an 8274.

Later,

Thanks for the replies.....I just realized that this probably ought to have been posted in the recovery section...

I am not really confident that I can source this gear from Warn...couldn't find it listed on their parts page. I may just try to hone the burrs and put it back. Best i can do.

perhaps I'll post to the wanted section for someone with a parts bin for these things.

As I mentioned, warn will happily sell you the whole top housing... but none of the individual pieces in there. Gears or bearings

If you want that particular gear, I've got it and you can have it... but the roller bearings in it are trash

PM on the way...as that sounds like my only solution.

You can get the roller bearings from any good bearing or transmission parts supplier. They are 0.375" ID X 0.563" OD and 0.500" long/deep. Torrington #Y-68 $4.59 CDN. My originals were stamped B-68. You can also get all the other bearings, seals and o-rings for 50-75% the cost of Warn parts. My supplier also had the balls for the brake assy to replace my rusty ones. If you need gears ya gotta go Warn (or used).
