Who has a Warn 8274 Winch on their FJ40? (3 Viewers)

I got lucky with the one I found on CL, it was basically new, maybe a couple of pulls on it. Seller was getting hits from buyers in the mountain west and was too lazy to package it up and ship it. I got him down to $500 cash on the spot then ran for the nearest ATM when he agreed.

Found this one on CL for $400

Recently went to respool & check winch rope and found the drum to have a bit of rust in some areas, wondering if a replacement is available, have not been able to source one ? any ideas ?

There are a couple on eBay at the moment. You could just sand it and put chassis saver silver followed by their satin black. Probably last another 30 years.

Yeah, just a few patches where the rust pits are kinda deep, just figured if I could find one in good cond., just the drum.

I checked em out, I"ll have to pull all the rope out and inspect the drum thoroughly to see if a replacement is warranted, I didn't wire wheel it all up clean, it may just need some attention, good to know there are a few floatin around in good condition.

I have a Warn-branded Belleview winch (ancestor to the 8274) that I am selling for a friend, that I think he will sell fairly cheap - but it weighs a ton and I doubt it would ship well or cheaply.

Ship it using:
Blue Lane Freight | Fastenal - https://www.fastenal.com/en/22/blue-lane-freight. Super cheap!!! I shipped a F engine, transmission, transfer case from TX to VA for $225.23 and same items from MS to VA for $169.98.

I ended up selling it to a local Cruiserhead and Mud member. Well, 200 miles away - local for Texas.

What is this cover? I am looking at this winch and has the upgraded Albright motor.

I have two 8274s that I bought for my 55 (long story - one was too good of a deal to pass). I have now decided against putting one on the 55 but was looking at the part's diagrams for my '83 FJ45 Troopy and they show an 8274 as the electrical winch option. Oddly enough there are 4 pages to those diagrams and include every replacement part on the winch. Looks like an abbreviated version of the Warn parts diagram. Probably going to throw one on that rig when I get it back to the US.

That is the warn contactor cover. Does it have an updated motor?

Just FYI, Albright makes contactors that many people use on these winches but it appears that you have the Warn upgraded contactor. Pretty sure Albright doesn't make motors. You probably have an upgraded Warn motor.
