there good and a strong pull it just takes about 3 weeks per pull they are verrrrrrrrry verrrrrrrrrry slow

Yeah I did read they were slow but I'm not arsed, given that they're meant to be built like a brick ****house I'm happy enough with that. I'll put up with it being slow as long as it gets me out of mud

To be fair an 8274 is an awesome winch .. for wunch challenges, but for most green-lane situations, much 'lesser' winches are excellent. In an emergency, time for winching is rarely important.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Do you want to sell it cheap? In broken condition?

I have no idea what's wrong with it, or even if it's repairable, but I want/need a winch and I've much more time on my hands than cash!!

It was working fine until I tried it today but it just clicks now so I'm not sure what is wrong with it

Solenoids need cleaning maybe ..

£20 , all I want is the winch, you keep all the rope etc ..

Paul D · Jul 15, 2012

'course, it could be a broken motor wind, clutch, gear, whatever too ...

Heheh, by emergency I meant when you're stuck .. emergency was probably the wrong word.

I have a husky and they are VERY slow, but I put a bowmotor on mine and now it's considerably quicker than it was!!!!

Speaking of new motors theres a twin motor mod for the 8274

that looks very interesting

I have 2 ramsay winches to strip and rebuild they will be slow as but reliable propper worm gear winches will pull and pull and pull all day long.

Dr Evil,

Off subject for a mo did i see you run a lock right in the front of you motor???

No I don't have any lockers in mine mate, I'm looking at getting an LSD for the rear, was thinking Quaife but Mark L is seeing if he can find one for me at his work so we'll see

Must be 2 Dr Evils!! Agghhh!

I have one in me shed just put it in an old diff will put it in the front but its olny 10 spline and I think will shatter the cross pin in no time.

haha the only other one I can think of is Gratch, he has Dr Evil as his profile piccy

You saying this brand isn't great then ?

jai_landrover · Jul 15, 2012

Not readily available and too harsh for the front when you accelerate the cross pin pushes both sides out and engages the half shaft drive gears. when you dont accelerate the side gears can just ratchet around but if you try to pull away on a roundabout the front end will lock up and pull you straight! like a detroit but does not auto unlock and very harsh. I think I may need to get a 300m cross pin for it but then again its only 10 spline so hey ho

Dr_evil · Jul 15, 2012

Fair enough, would it not be best off in the rear then rather than the front ? Or is that make just better avoided unless you're doing challenge stuff ?

jai_landrover · Jul 15, 2012

far better but I have a detroit and a salisbury rear. The front is going 24 spline and 300m shafts at some point but probably just an open diff as its my road/tow motor. I may throw this locker in for a giggle afterall its only a n hour or so to see how bad good it is.

Dr_evil · Jul 15, 2012

Ahhh well a quaife will do me, they seem to be popping up on ebay now and then
