So, having rebuilt a few of these. First, change all bearings, seals, wear parts, once it's apart, it's silly not to do an entire rebuild, not like you need to do it a few times/year. A.) do not put grease in the friction brakes, they get get hot and will melt what is put in. and you will need a clamp to reassemble the brakes due to the spring, check out gigglepin, or build one yourself as I did. Also with the brake, it's better to update from the pucks as you did but you should change the inner ring as well, you lose surface area if you keep the old one as it still has the holes in it, also get the inner ring that has more teeth, it does help as far as the pawl is concerned B.) use a 9000 series motor, it's just better, more power, cooling fins, and it's not 100 yrs old C.) don't use solenoids, they suck. convert to an albright contact, better and more reliable. D.) not required but a suggestion, weld in a bung at the bottom of the winch, water gets in and you will need to change the oil(use synthetic) E.) shouldn't have to be said, but use synthetic line. F.) do grease the carrier side of the spool, don't let it just ride in the bushing. G.) you should build a special tool to seat the bearing prior to installing the brake, the cardboard installer collar is a waste of time
These winches are terrific. In the late 70s I pulled a large forklift out of the mud with one mounted on a FJ40. Back in those days the warn winch for a Landcruiser came with the winch and the C channel bumper all as a Toyota accessory
Roat row. glitter in the case. I had one of these on my ford HiBoy f250 and it pulled hard until I sold the truck to my Neiber he still uses it for fire wood and has never had it apart. Great winch
The best way to clean up a motor commutator is put it in a lathe and clean with a length of fine sand paper (emory is conductive) while spinning it. If it is uneven skim as little as possible with the lathe and then sand paper. If it doesn't have wearable segment separators, (they were lower than the copper) under cut them, I use a ground down hacksaw blade until you can see clean separators, i.e no carbon. If you turn it or fit new brushes they may need forming to the com. I wrap sand paper around the com, fit the brushes and then spin the motor by hand, clean any carbon dust afterwards.
Very nice product indeed, I had 2 of them back in the day & they went with the truck when I sold it. You got the best of the best King Enjoy it.. Don't forget to refill the "oil" :)
i have a 8274 on my 1975 cj5 rockcrawler,never letme down. great job on the rebuild just not sure why u did not clean up the bolts and paint them black? these came out in 74
I've taken duct tape and covered labels and ID tags to help keep the media blasting from destroying them. Don't aim directly at the taped area or it will cut through it.
Hi are you sure on date code because F is usually June this makes January letter A so that say June and July have different letters not sure on this so just asking keep up the good videos 😊
I tell people all the time that I would always prefer to buy American, but I do not like to needlessly throw my money away when in fact most all things made in America are only assembled in America and cost three times as much using parts from Mexico, China, or Taiwan.
