    Winch service

    I am sure that most of us have one and use and abuse it with no real thought to that poor little unit mounted behind the bar, had to use the trusty Warn 8000 last weekend only to discover that the free spool level would move but the drum wouldn't release. Worked fine using the motor but no free spool. Anyway decided this weekend it was time to remove it.
    Firstly it was possible to her it out without full bar removal, removed bottom there bolts and lessened the to ones and the bar will tilt far enought to allow winch out the bottom (thanks to the previous installers a bit of antisieze would not have gone astray, thankfully I have access to a rattle gun)
    One winch was removed its a simple process
    Remove the hex screw on the free spool lever and remove, remove the hex screws holding cover onto gearbox assembly and withdraw the cover, I was horrified at what I saw.

    Planetary gears

    Second set of planetary gears

    Gearbox drive

    After a good soaking all the nice clean bits

    I did use a wire brush on the bench grinder to clean the obvious rust if the gears.
    Packed absolutely truck loads if grease back into all the gears and reassembled the winch.
    I guess the moral of it all is the bloody things are expensive take the time to look after them after all I would hate for it to fail when really need.

    Wayne, did you pull the motor off and apart to service bearings and communtator, check brushes too. Also the internal spool/drum brake clean and service.

    cheers, old Jack.

      I did open the brake end no signs of water ingress just the usual wear and tear, as yet haven't opened the motor.

        Must be the weekend for winch servicing...Picked up an Ox hand winch for $30 two weeks ago...Pulled it down, sat it in diesel for a couple of hours and cleaned it up...Works better than new now.. Also was given a 10000Lbs Warn from a bloke at work, was planning on stripping it tomorrow to have a look...

          Not to self next time it's due pull the cable out and remove it from the drum makes it a truck load lighter and easier to get back in.
