watson Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 shows i dont use the truck much as never done one, but now doso how do you change the motor on an 8274? hi jst if i remember rightly you just disconnect the battery so nothing can short, then disconnect the cables off the motor but remember were they go because it can be a sod, and then there are two long bolt in the back of the motor, undo both of them then pull the motor off but be-carefull of the gasket unless you want to replace it i am sure someone will correct me if i am wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treebloke Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 if i remember rightly you just disconnect the battery so nothing can short, then disconnect the cables off the motor but remember were they go because it can be a sod I have put different coloured cable ties on the studs on the motor, the cables at each end and the albright. Thats three different colours x 4 for each cable in case someone thought it was 12 different colours, the earth is the one without a tie, it wears a dicky bow.

Ian M Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 i normally remove the top housing as the gear can drop down as you pull the motor out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderman Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 i normally remove the top housing as the gear can drop down as you pull the motor out! Probably best do it this way James , and then you can give the winch an oil change and service . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milemarker Type S Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 At what point in the procedure do you disconnect the hydraulic lines? James you probably scared it with all the use it got today! Can I borrow someone elses coat before I exit swiftly via the door? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile rear winch nearly didn't stop getting used! i think Jase is right - the spiders were upset and stopped it spinning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderman Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Well ! what was wrong with the motor or are you Aracnaphobic ? For those who are not sure what the big mis-spelt word is its a fear of spiders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 arachnophobia you mean? Not sure whats wrong with it, i just replaced it, but it was lacking grunt shall we say and stalling easily but wasnt getting hot, bushes looked ok to me - but then i dont really know what i should be looking for i will keep it lying around for a grown up to have a look at.

Steve 90 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Brush's need to have plenty of material left, Good spring pressure against the slip ring and be clean where they contact (no burning or dirt on the brush or slip ring) Other than that they are pretty straight forward. Make sure the lead from the brush that goes to the stud through the motor body is good and all connection are clean and tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
