landroversforever Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Can anyone tell me if winch motor splines are all the same? Reason I ask is I have a Superwinch husky doing in the rear of the 90 and the motor is vile, so I might as well upgrade it at the same time. I'm thinking Bow2 as it will match the front winch motor should I ever need to swap them in the field. So is the old husky motor going to have the same splines and mounting as the Bow2?

Lewis Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Husky motors have a key way, like early 8274's. Buy a later 8274 motor gear and either drill the motor for roll pins/split pins or cut a circlip groove. There's probably something by white90 in the tech archives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 My husky is splined by the looks of it when I opened the case up the other night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 I remember white90 doing something about putting a circlip groove on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Just check that the motor gear is secured to the splines in some way. I have a husky in bits waiting to be welded where someone has fitted a later splined motor a gear but left the gear free floating, it has then fell off the end of the motor spline and worn through the casing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
