So, having rebuilt a few of these. First, change all bearings, seals, wear parts, once it's apart, it's silly not to do an entire rebuild, not like you need to do it a few times/year. A.) do not put grease in the friction brakes, they get get hot and will melt what is put in. and you will need a clamp to reassemble the brakes due to the spring, check out gigglepin, or build one yourself as I did. Also with the brake, it's better to update from the pucks as you did but you should change the inner ring as well, you lose surface area if you keep the old one as it still has the holes in it, also get the inner ring that has more teeth, it does help as far as the pawl is concerned B.) use a 9000 series motor, it's just better, more power, cooling fins, and it's not 100 yrs old C.) don't use solenoids, they suck. convert to an albright contact, better and more reliable. D.) not required but a suggestion, weld in a bung at the bottom of the winch, water gets in and you will need to change the oil(use synthetic) E.) shouldn't have to be said, but use synthetic line. F.) do grease the carrier side of the spool, don't let it just ride in the bushing. G.) you should build a special tool to seat the bearing prior to installing the brake, the cardboard installer collar is a waste of time
Roat row. glitter in the case. I had one of these on my ford HiBoy f250 and it pulled hard until I sold the truck to my Neiber he still uses it for fire wood and has never had it apart. Great winch
These winches are terrific. In the late 70s I pulled a large forklift out of the mud with one mounted on a FJ40. Back in those days the warn winch for a Landcruiser came with the winch and the C channel bumper all as a Toyota accessory
The best way to clean up a motor commutator is put it in a lathe and clean with a length of fine sand paper (emory is conductive) while spinning it. If it is uneven skim as little as possible with the lathe and then sand paper. If it doesn't have wearable segment separators, (they were lower than the copper) under cut them, I use a ground down hacksaw blade until you can see clean separators, i.e no carbon. If you turn it or fit new brushes they may need forming to the com. I wrap sand paper around the com, fit the brushes and then spin the motor by hand, clean any carbon dust afterwards.
Very nice product indeed, I had 2 of them back in the day & they went with the truck when I sold it. You got the best of the best King Enjoy it.. Don't forget to refill the "oil" :)
I've taken duct tape and covered labels and ID tags to help keep the media blasting from destroying them. Don't aim directly at the taped area or it will cut through it.
i have a 8274 on my 1975 cj5 rockcrawler,never letme down. great job on the rebuild just not sure why u did not clean up the bolts and paint them black? these came out in 74
Hi are you sure on date code because F is usually June this makes January letter A so that say June and July have different letters not sure on this so just asking keep up the good videos 😊
I tell people all the time that I would always prefer to buy American, but I do not like to needlessly throw my money away when in fact most all things made in America are only assembled in America and cost three times as much using parts from Mexico, China, or Taiwan.

Why didn't you use new bolts or clean the old ones. Can't believe you used them like that.

Your crazy handling that old wire rope without gloves

Great job guys. Thank you 😊
$40 + for a seal kit on E-Bay. That winch new today is about $3000.
Got one use it all the time, great tool.
That was my first winch! Loved it!
That is cool.. and looked much better. Thanks for the video
Interesting , Thank You .
Casey will love this

We filled it at the end
That's part of Murphy's law! And you must remember, Murphy shall prevail.

Good idea!
cool stuff
Very neat content Quinton. I think we have a USA made 8274 on the front of this fj45. That my shop axleboy off road is currently working on
You can always check on warns website by looking at your serial number. If its got a 3 digit data point tag chances are it is!

You know that winch would look way better on my TJ Right😂
Seals. You don't need no stinken seals. 😁
Good video, but I'm disappointed when you skipped over the disassemble portion, removing the brake and gears.
That looked to be media in your blast cabinet, not sand .😮😊😊😊
Hi are you sure on date code because F is usually June this makes January letter A so that say June and July have different letters not sure on this so just asking keep up the good videos 😊
i got one i had used it in 20 yeARS
Also, I'm not sure that your accurate in decoding the date. I believe F would indicate June.. anyone??
If it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is.
Been there done that.... lol
Far as I know, the 8274 are the fastest line speed, so watch your digits.
Paint those bolt heads!
Only because you said so
@@quintonbartolotta i just thought if you went threw all the trouble to clean it up why not paint the rusty bolts!🤷♂️
Are you going to bring some heavy duty machine to the off road games?
If i get invited absolutely
@@quintonbartolotta you can apply online at their website!
Have you ever heard of an m8273 8 ton
Never heard of that one
It looks just like the one you have
I would like to send you a pic but don't know how
use wd40 with the scotchbrite.
