Anderzander Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 For goodness know how many years I’ve been rebuilding an M8000 winch - it stalled because it needs a new motor and because I don’t really have a use for it. Given that last point it seems daft to pay for a bowmotor or a genuine warn item - is there’s anything cheap and cheerful (inc secondhand) so I can just get it back together?

Ed Poore Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 What's wrong with the motor? Electric motors are normally pretty simple beasts and usually rebuildable. Might be as simple as some new brushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 I don’t really understand the motor - but it’s been full of water - I did my best to clean it up and when I connected it up, it smoked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 If the windings aren't burnt out then chances are it's a simple fix. I'd try pulling it apart first and assessing the damage. Measure the impedance through the windings and you should get an ohm or two. You've got nothing to lose by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Bob may have a motor lying around (tends to swap them out for hydraulic) so if it ever happens could swap bumper for motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I don’t know what the prices are like, but Goodwinch sell the plain can type motors that come on the more basic winches. Might be worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonimouse Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I have a genuine Warn motor for an M8000, rebuilt some time back. It's yours if you can get it collected form Somerset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retroanaconda Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I am planning to be in Somerset briefly in early September and then heading back up the road, would be happy to transport if logistics suit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landroversforever Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 If that doesn’t work, and it can get to the Oxford area, I can get it to the Peterborough show for onward movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Poore Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Equally I suspect I'll be heading up north again - cost an extortionate £77 to get the tick repellent for the two dogs so might as well make the most of the next 3 months protection 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonimouse Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Sounds all workable I'll be at Adventure Overland if that helps.. If not, lets liaise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
