Finally got all the little things done to my Warn 8274.
Thanks to awill4x4 off this forum for fabbing up and welding the bracing tabs on the winch, he did a top job for me.
So it now has new seals, breather, oil fill hole, oil drain hole, and bracing on drum housing.
A couple of pics...

that's what we lead you to believe
we don't want any stinky northerners overcrowding our tracks and getting them closed

The winch on our truck and most of the comp vehicles we compete with have a breather on them, not sure why but l noticed yours doesnt. You may want to look into this and see if its worth puting one on before it is fitted to your truck.

Didnt look at the second pic, breather pipe is not visible in the top pic.
What was the final damage to your pocket Tonka.

anyone know the advantage of the bigger motor on highmounts. i bought a old one and the motor needs work, was thinkin of rewind/rebuild or new bigger motor.

ha, same here, my motor is stuffed.
What about getting a hydraulic motor+ pump fitted??

I fitted a 4.6hp motor as a replacement
Well worth it the winch is even quicker loading cable/powering out
and the motor runs far cooler(more winching time)
Cost me £185GBP

And if you want to go all out run a 4.6hp 24v.

Now that is a set up that works extremely well.
