I came across this winch I believe to be an Warn 8274. The winch belongs to a coworkers neighbor who wants to sell it along with the bumper it’s mounted on and the controls. It was mounted on a full size mid 70’s Chevy truck. The owner claims it still works. To me, it looks like it needs some TLC. The owner is asking $200 all together for the bumper, winch & controls. My coworker did me a favor & took a few pics of it for me. I haven’t seen it yet but it is local to me.

I was thinking at some point to maybe swap it on my YJ & remove my XD9000i. I'd probably fab my own mount system for it.

I did read a couple threads here on Pirate about the codes stamped on it – but I’m still at a loss as to what the numbers/letters exactly mean for this one. If somebody knows – I’d appreciate the breakdown on this one. Thanks! :)

Does it look like it's missing something(s)?
Thoughts?

NOT an 8274.

That's the Warn/Belevue 6000/8000/WTF thingy. It has power in only, they used cable controls instead of solenoids, and there is a cable operated brake for controlled out-spooling. It's been out of production since the early '70's, and parts are hard to impossible to find (aside from parting out other winches).

It's faster than shit, like an 8274, but I'd probably keep the winch you have ;)

Thanks!

Yep - looks like you're on to something.

I dug this thread/link up below & it looks like this one pictured in the link, and the one my friend took pics of are very similar, if not the same type winches.
