My question was answered but it brought about the discussion of if i should actually wire the solenoids that engage the motor in series, parallel,or just a single solenoid. keep in mind these old belleviews are power in only, no power out.

Depends - you can actually buy a reversable motor for them. I've got one on mine.

Western Motors Service Co.
Part number is W-8905 (Doesn't show up on their website, but they have it)
Thanks Old jeep. I have read about these reversible motors. The motor I got is working fine now but if i ever have to replace it the link and part number you provided will help alot.

About the only thing I would add is that the Warn 8274 was the final refinement of the Belleview 6000-8000s spur gear winch's. The 8274 solenoids were wired in parallel.

A single solenoid would work, but I found that with mine, I had to carry a a spare solenoid. Finally ended up wiring two solenoids in parallel.

As far as the winch controller, if its a single pole motor, wire up both ends of the switch for power in.
