a different winch question
A couple of weeks ago i cooked my Brawn 9500lb lomount winch motor. The armature is shagged.
Now some of you may think this is my opportunity to better my life and become a highmount owner. Unfortunately though the cash cow has an udder infection and won't be churning out too much cash in the near future.
Where can i source a lomount winch motor? I don't know where to get one of these animals from and i don't particularly want to have to buy a whole new winch.
If i was forced to go down this expenditure path, i was toying with the idea of getting a warn 6hp winch motor and slapping it onto my Brawn winch. The problem i face here is that my current motor's output shaft is rectangular whereas the warn's are splined/star type. Where would i be able to get the bush that attaches the warn motor to the drum and shaft?
This way when i finally do get the bucks to buy a warn himount i already have a 6hp motor to bung on it.
Thanks

Gidday Glen, Sorry to hear your winch still not going
Don't really know were to get that bush your talking about? I thought
the shaft would have been the same for warn motors. (ya learn something
new everyday)
You'll probably pay around $500 for a 6hp motor plus the adapter shaft.
I bought my Highmount second hand off ebay for $800 bucks and rebuilt
it with new bushes seals etc quite cheap and learned a lot about how they
work. Maybe an option if you can hold off and find one similar.
Good luck getting it all sorted mate.

What could possibly go wrong????
Hey Turtle boy..
Give Chris a bell at KJ's. 5222 8665. He deals with brawn stuff should be able to get a motor i guess..
If not, any half decent engineer should be able to make up an adapter. Andrew and Brian at Geelong Diffs would knock one up for you.
Cheers. Dan

Doesn't matter anyway as most lomount parts are interchangable anyway.Bluey wrote:i'm probably behind the times by a year or two, but is brawn not in existance anymore?
I'm pretty sure Brawns are a Tmax winch with silicon, seals, o-rings and waterproof grease added prior to sale. They're pretty well sealed. After a few years of river crossings, bogholes, mucheavy use, use under water, and never being pulled apart it didn't have a drop of water in it. Grease is perfect too.
Yeah thanks Ruffy. Got a price off Chris. If i don't find a cheap himount in the next month i'll get one off him.Ruffy wrote:Hey Turtle boy..

that's a better way of saying what i was trying to say. was finding it hard to picture having to machine an adapter for a winch only few years old being the only option.GQ Bear wrote:Doesn't matter anyway as most lomount parts are interchangable anyway.Bluey wrote:i'm probably behind the times by a year or two, but is brawn not in existance anymore?

You are on drugs, they are a copy of a warn not rebadged.
Good luck Bear, did you get hold of Smithy to see if you could make a motor out of parts.

Yeah, Smithy's always a big help. Maybe when i get my himount one day i'll look into putting the 4.6hp warn motor on the lowmount as a rear winch with a Wazza twin 6 or 7.8hp on the front himount
