Mog winches are piss you want a ARVM winch 35 ton straight pull, 70ton on a Snatch block the size of your tyres Jake. Pull Jesus outta Heaven.

Ok, help me peoples. Is this winch look ok from the pics?

I will go and look at it. But want some ideas from you all.

ehhh bits are missing mate.....

how much??

i wouldn't pay more then $200 for it...
eh does it work??
is the gbox full of water, grease, oil, mud?...... o2??
Contd of brushes?? / gears?? open her up and have a good look... rust etc

Dude in.... ah can't remember have card at work fixes winches... does all comp ones n shite.. drain holes breathers etc

Looks like homemade cont box??

my motor cost me 160 + or - to get rebuilt after i paid $800 for one with all the bits (did a lot of hard work before it died!!)

i fink new ones are about 500 hunna from the winch man.. good thinkg is you can fit a new 4.6 to an old winch if you have $$ the gears n shite havn't changed

are they pics of two different winches?
no end plate on both, no solenoid box with the plug receptical on one, no solenoid box cover on the other.

well.

It works.


It has a home made solenoid box with a booty power lead attached to it, (like a normal 3 pronged power lead) not the small 3 pin thing from the front.


It has a booty end plate after the original bushes got destroyed along with the alloy end.

Its fairly cheap, but still I aint certain. I really would want to change the solenoid cover back to an original one and get the original end cap. (How much would that cost).

ahhh. I dont know enougfh about winches (especially highmounts).

Also from the look of the pics, I cant see a free spool knob.

I don't think people bother free spooling high mounts. They wind in and out pretty quickly.

I'd buy it for parts but would not expect it to be a cheap proposition for a working winch. the 8274 hasn't changed much over the years, most of the guts haven't changed at all, so it's good for spares.

Need a winch! Want a higmount and preferably one thats in some kind of original nick.

I can get this one for $500 but i rather pay more and get one that works and has all the original parts....

I dunnno though.

locky can rebuild it for you, new motor, plates, solenoid boxes, cable or rope, etc. in narre warren, 9705 6677

Buy it ..... Try it ....and if its no good flog it off, $500 for a winch is cheap, even spending another $500 on it brings it up to 1k....not bad for a highmount

Its a warn 8074, same as mine
looks complete - if its cheap the get it

8074 didn't have free spoll, you can fit tho

Yeah, its one of the early high mounts without the free spool. Internally they are pretty much the same as the newer ones, although $500 is fairly steep for something so old and in questionable repair. I wouldn't pay more than $200 for that one. Then use the money you've saved and take it to Malcolm Leslie and get it modded.

thats not worth a cent more than 200$

i bought one for $250 with all parts intact and all i had to replace was a solenoid ( 25$) and the cruddy solenoid cover.
Looks brand new now!

JEs

Yeah not worth over $200!

i wouldnt pay ova 200 for it never
it looks bloody old and u dont know if it can sustain a load or not
it mite just work for spooling in
but on the otha hand if it works and can hold a load thats a bloody bargain

I payed $300 for this 8274 and i have never even checked if it works

It is worth $300 even if it doesnt. Funny thing is i dont even have a use for it. Im still using my XD9000 on the front of my lux even with the new tube front bar. I dont see any real reason to add the weight of a high mount when my Modded XD9000 does the job fine and i will be able to get better approach with it.

It will prob just sit in the garage for a few more years till i buy a larger tow vehicle. Hopefully this time next year my current lux will be my Tow Vehicle

I just bought a 8274 High mount winch for $650 with Hawse fairlead in working order minus the controller lead.

Anyone got a 3 pin or 5 pin controller lead for sale in and around Melbourne for cheap. I can get new for $110 but maybe someone has a cheaper one just lying around that they want to get rid of.

Cant help with the lead but if you want a set of rollers instead of the Hawse i would be interested in swapping.

Ruff Cheezy is making Fairlead Hawses ATM for Plasma ( in some sort of plastic) and wire (billet steel) if that is any help.

ps: what happen to Sam getting some made. has he forgotten this ???

I also have a new set of rollers that I tried on it but they stick out a little too far for my liking so I installed it with the Hawse Fairlead instead.

Anybody want to buy a new set of roller??
