[QUOTE="FireballXL5, post: 1551579, member: 20483"] So... Trying to diagnose my 'click-click' on my winch... Tried a second set of solenoids and that didn't fix it... So pulled the motor off and found a brush had overheated and desoldered the wires going to it... So... Looked for motor options for replacement... Pretty sure mine was the old stock presto lite 2.5 hp version... And ebay etc sell various replacements for $80-100... But I think they'd be a stock form of replacement... I also found a used motor on eBay for about $50... But who doesn't want 'more power' when upgrading parts!?! Lol Doing some research, it looks like there's a 4.6 hp replacement motor that will bolt on from the warm 8274-50 (50th anniversary edition)... And that ranged in the $180-200 range... Lastly, I found the Bosch 68608 motor off of the warn 9.5xp winch is another bolt on upgrade which some say is 6 hp... This seems to be the common replacement that guys do which can run between $280-330... I however found it on amazon dot com for $220... And along with some gift cards I already had, basically got it for free, so I went with them... Another difference you need to be aware of is that the newer motors come with splined shafts instead of keyed shafts, so I needed replacement pinion for the motor which also fits Into the free-wheel pull-handle... Part number 'warn 15879 splined pinion gear'... Both the motor (68608) and splined shaft (15879) are en route and should be here tomorrow... Hopefully it will all go together fine, and the rest of the gear train will handle the upgrade of power... Will keep you guys posted as to whether or not the old style (discontinued) solenoids will pull the amperage or need replacing too... But, I'm looking forward to having a reliable winch again that will pull at least with twice as much torque as my old 2.5 hp motor... Hopefully there will be no more 'bogging' under load... [/QUOTE]
