Ben Jordan Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 (edited) What is the value of a Warn 8472 that needs to be rebuilt and requires a new motor? What would need replacing/refurbishing and what are the costs? Edited December 17, 2005 by Ben Jordan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 £250-300max dead easy to rebuild see tech archive. I've done a couple myself and if any spares are required Phil at PG winches will sort you out. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Jordan Posted December 18, 2005 Author Share Posted December 18, 2005 Is there anything i should be looking for when buying one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Just make sure none of the major parts are broken or missing. Most parts other than the regular rebuild ones are fairly pricey. Plan as a minimum to rebuild the brake and the lower housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Jordan Posted December 18, 2005 Author Share Posted December 18, 2005 Is there a diagram somewhere so i can see all of the parts? how much are the kits to rebuild the brake and lower housing? Whats the cheapest good motor for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Late 8274 parts you need a serial number to use these pages Earlier variants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Jordan Posted December 18, 2005 Author Share Posted December 18, 2005 It's roughly an '80s model. is there much difference between the models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Look at it the other way round:- New motor £200 New allbright solenoid £60 Brake overhaul kit £70 Lower housing overhaul kit £30 New wire rope £40 (or plasma type £160-£180) New roller fairlead £70 Etc etc. Bear in mind you can buy one brand new for £815, I wouldnt pay £300 for a poorly one! I just paid £300 for one, complete with Bowmotor, brand new solenoid pack, brand new fairlead and wire rope, brand new remote, just had brake rebuild etc etc. I only needed to put the lower housing kit on it cause the oil seal was knackered. I consider that a fair price. Something that poorly and in need of a full rebuild i'd say is worth more like £100. People seem to think that 8274's are worth far more than they really are. They've come down in prive alot lately. Ask Mr Warne about the £500 one he was looking at at sodbury which was very poorly..... Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 New motor £200 agreed New allbright solenoid £60 agreed Brake overhaul kit £70 don't buty this! bearings and new pads plus circlip from PG winches or gwynn lewis Lower housing overhaul kit £30 this amounts to a bearing and a piece of card New wire rope £40 (or plasma type £160-£180) New roller fairlead £70 loads of cheap roller ones if you go for wire available I dumped mine as no one wanted them for free £250-300 for one that isn't junk is a reasonable price. any more it isn't worth it. ps look at the drum support if this id damaged they're ££ new pps there is a plastic bearing in the above piece that wears out and costs £5-10 to replace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bush65 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 They aren't sealed very well and water gets inside. If neglected the water can cause bad pitting on the gear teeth and shaft journals, brake components, bearings etc. A lot of this damage will not be evident until the winch is stripped. I would at least remove the top cover (3 allen head bolts) and look for signs of water damage inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Jordan Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 So im probably better off saving up and getting a brand spanker then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I don't think so. If it has a good motor, gears and brake, you should be good to go. I think you guys are getting screwed..... You don't "need" a new expensive motor. The lower housing kit was $20, I think. Brake kit $30. Around here I can pick up a good working used unit for $400 anytime.

Mark90 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 (edited) I think you guys are getting screwed..... As usual Around here I can pick up a good working used unit for $400 anytime. How much for shipping to the UK? Edited December 19, 2005 by Mark90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR90 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 So im probably better off saving up and getting a brand spanker then? Maybe but AFAIK that won't come with the £200 motor or the plasma (isolators, batteries, charging system..) so it still isn't the only cost while with a s/h until you can use it form day one and have some fun replacing bits as they break. I've done the later but suspect in the long term just buying it all new would have been the cheapest option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Jordan Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 The winch serial number is 231882 manufacturers code is CT3, How old does that make it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark90 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 (edited) Looks like it sold for £275 Or was it another old one needing some work you have been looking at? Edited December 21, 2005 by Mark90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Jordan Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 Looks like it sold for £275 Or was it another old one needing some work you have been looking at? That was the one. It wasn't too far away from me. The missus saw it and said "it's all rusty, you might aswell buy a new one for the price thats going for." What a good girl, I will wait and buy a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I wasn't gonna pay that much for that one either. Might get a new one also, need to save a few more pennies first though, and the missus wants to go skiing in feb too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
