Julian this has been discussed before - i don't think they are affiliated with Superwinch

I have a brand new still-in-the-box Superduty 7.8HP motor sitting on the floor behind me awaiting installation.
I can find no indication on the motor as to who made it, where it was made or its spec. In the installation literature that came with it it is referred to as a Superduty Motor 6.8HP & 7.8HP. I hope I got the 7.8! The Traxion website states that they are made in USA and has a pdf spec file which is not particularly informative either. Traxion are NZ agents for Superwinch.

I did some research on this ages ago and I am pretty sure they are made in Brazil, don't know manufacturer tho.
