Gremlin Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Hi All I am at the moment refurbing a Husky winch. While its apart i thought it might be a good idea to fit new brushes to the motor. Now i have the parts manual and been trough the parts suppliers and no one seems to list the brushes separately (unlike other makes). Does anyone know if you can find replacements? or have the specs (lenght) of what they should be as new? Motor used to work when tested, not under load, loads and loads of black dust inside (brushes?) no corrosion or water ingress damage. Tips and advise welcome.

Gremlin Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 Another question, will one shot swivel grease work in the spur gearbox? G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 The grease I used came with my new motor, but firstfour do supply it this https://www.firstfour.co.uk/superwinch-husky-spur-gearbox-oil-250mm-pouch.html & worm gearvdrive gearbox https://www.firstfour.co.uk/superwinch-husky-worm-gearbox-oil.html I'm sure they will be able to advise on a suitable fluid grease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 Hi Western thanks again, in fact i will source the lubricants locally as its not worth having them sent over here. Just sent a mail to first four now we see their reply. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Please note the Husky requires a special grade oil - stick to it. The gearbox / wormwheel needs that to work correctly.. First Four usu. has the correct stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
