You should put all the videos in a Playlist! There's so little on this winch here on you tube and it's such a hassle finding good information like what you have made here! Thanks for everything you are doing and all the help.
Great videos! Helped a ton n my rebuild and modification to my 8274. One tip I figured out along the way... Try using about 4 magnets on the bottom brake plate when it's in the vise. It holds the ball bearings to the edge perfectly! (If you positio. The magnets right) went on super easy first try and ever since... I used four old car audio tweeter magnets abou 2 inches round and put one on each corner of the brake plate. Thanks again for the vids!
The shaft is 1.5 inch solid, extended 3 inches. the brake shaft was drilled at a machine shop and is case hardened - so it drilled on a lathe easily. yes you need the cardboard ring to install it - it keeps the seal in place. Thanks for watching!
Your videos are very helpful! but it looks like you forgot to show/talk to or add information on when to put the the keys into the brake assembly before putting on the snap ring.
Your C clip on the brake shaft went in upside down, they have a sharp side & a slightly rounded side on the edges, sharp side outwards best resists pushing out of the C clip groove.
Awesome video!!! What is on your motor that looks all greasy? I have the motor sealed, do I need to put grease or goop on the outside where the screws go into the body?
Man you took that thing apart and it looked ready for the junk yard ,look at it now looks like something that ready to hull you and your friends out of trouble ,not enough people realize rebuilding is the way to go in the throw away age .
Great got some new gear and drum mods done -- Just looking at the motor on your 8274 looks like a 2.5 HP at 12V is that correct?Mine is 12V @ 2.5 HP.How does it perform and do you run out of power?Thinking off upgrading to 6HP. Whats your thoughts having used yours in anger.
You need to upgrade the ratchet if you upgrade the brake shoes. The new ratchet doesn't have puck holes in it. And how do you expect the brake to work when it's powdercoated?
HI, on my old 8274 when i stripped it down there were cirular pads on the braked tooth gear. ive bought the full rebuild kit but it does not come with them. i can see yours had the holes for them. did it have them. thanks andrew
New brake pads for 8274 is much smaller in diameter and new 3.7mm thick,so here is my question -- how do you find our adapted brake shoes and would you recomend it?
It looked like there was a little bit of end play or in/out movement of the brake shaft, most likely because the lock plate is thinner than the groove in the shaft. Is this normal?
From the video it looks to me that you put the "C" clip on the wrong way around, as the sharp side is suppose to face outward. Cool vids but. I'll post some more of mine soon.
Ed KE6BNL I've been looking into rebuilding my old 8274. Here's what I have on my list so far. All on Amazon, but probably eBay too: Warn 8680 Lower House Service Kit Warn 8409 Brake Service Kit (stock. Not upgraded) Warn 8356 Needle Bearing
mine has never stalled, i actually bought the motor off ebay, think it is 4.3 hp. works great and I have abused it! 6 hp might be overkill but i understand the urge to upgrade:) checkout gigglepin4x4 for really cool upgrades.
