Replacement Warn winch motor

[Sadam_Husain]

I finely cooked my ageing 8274 winch motor at terawhiti last weekend , I've got a complete PTO winch that I'd like to put on but thats not going to happen for a while coz the exhaust will have to be shifted and the transfercase needs to be pulled apart to put the PTO drive gear into it etc etc... so that means in the interium I should fix the 8274 which which should be fixed anyway coz its no use for anything without a motor

so, is it worthwhile forking out $1k for a 7.8hp motor or should I just stick a $500 4.8hp motor in it and considering its a major expence who can I get some prices off to find the best deal

Is rewinding the existing motor not an option?

12 or 24v

thats an option but its an old winch, 8274 not a 8274-50 and probably the origional motor that must of done at least 400,000km or whatever winch motors do

12 or 24v

its a 12v one I'm after
