Huh?? What's the point. I see no axle questions, no comments on springs, and zero queries about motors.

Because after listening to the 8274 chant, I went and bought one...

I figure with "good cable, rebuilt motor, new solenoids" it can't be all that bad

There have been PLENTY of discussions about buying a used 8274 recently, matter of fact one about an ebay auction of one.

And thanks to this (Billavista) http://www.rightcoastcrawler.com/billaVista/8274/8274.htm

I can rebuild it when it gets here.

So..... I guess I am just saying that I bought an 8274 and it is kind of sketchy description and I hope it works out.

It'll work fine. I bought mine for $40, its about 20 yrs old and works perfect. I love this winch.
