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
@@larryok8156 I made a custom tool to seat the bearing.....cnc cut, and tig welded. It grates me to no end to see people using incorrect tools to perform a task, I get the whole "use what you have on hand" idea, but if it isn't an emergency fix, which rebuilding a winch never is, do it correctly.
I've never rebuilt an 8274 but have decades of experience with all kinds of machinery and noticed some of the things that you addressed. It sounds like you have the experience. I think you should make a video of rebuilding an 8274.
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
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
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" :)
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.
Unfinished business, is like going to a movie,,You got tickets,, Money for refreshments your date,,Your watching the feature film,,And the movie ends with Thanks for coming,,We ran out of film. I watch refurbishing videos to see the finished product and if there are any mechanics to it or completions to the build, Seeing the results is what makes it worth sitting through it in the for place. You probably understand where I'm...... Sincerely; Uncle Larry 😎
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
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.
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.
@@quintonbartolotta Why not replace them with stainless socket head bolts? No corrosion problems, easier to remove if you ever have to and looks great.

Don't use screwdrivers and punches to set bushing and seals. Try a large socket. Cringe!

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

We filled it at the end

That was my first winch! Loved it!
Your crazy handling that old wire rope without gloves
That is cool.. and looked much better. Thanks for the video
Casey will love this
What year did they make that
$40 + for a seal kit on E-Bay. That winch new today is about $3000.

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!

Good idea!
Interesting , Thank You .
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's part of Murphy's law! And you must remember, Murphy shall prevail.
Great job guys. Thank you 😊

That looked to be media in your blast cabinet, not sand .😮😊😊😊

cool stuff
for the love of god stop skipping the disassembly o was watching this to see how the electrical parts were so i can put mine back original.
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
If it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is.
Also, I'm not sure that your accurate in decoding the date. I believe F would indicate June.. anyone??
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!
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!🤷♂️

No 😵no 😵not the Chrome on the impact how dare you I'm calling OSHA😂😂
Shhhhhh
Been there done that.... lol
If you haven't made things worse from time to time you haven't done much.
Far as I know, the 8274 are the fastest line speed, so watch your digits.
i got one i had used it in 20 yeARS
use wd40 with the scotchbrite.
