Maybe those with 8724's have a problem because that's the wrong code. It's 8274, not 8724. oke: My 8274 is older than most on this board and still pulling strong. It's also one of the fastest winches out there, has room for more cable/rope, plus easy access for additional in-cab wiring and solenoids.

I realize it is harder to package and super expensive to buy new but I think it's still one of the best ever designs.

That's right, I saw him use it the same day he pulled me out of 3 foot deep snow.


How much were the aluminum links?

Weird seems almost everyone I have wheeled with an 8724 has had winch issues :teehee:. I said almost.

Can't really blame a loose battery lead on the winch :sonicjay: That was the fault of the stupid guy that put it together.

 

[CheapThrillB2]

My opinion is based on one winch......or you experience. They sure do have their following. And proved to be a good winch. Just not for me

Mine is older than I am, that says enough on its own :sonicjay:

Just as a point of interest, check out the winch on the DEAK racing rig.

Back in December I took the buggy to twisted. Roads were salted heavy. On the way home I stopped at the car wash a couple miles from home. But is was like 5 degrees out and water froze almost instantly on the buggy.

Well the salt did a number on my electrical. While everything still worked. After a thorough inspection that wouldn't of been the case for long.

So tearing it all apart to redo it.



Ordered new gauges and also ordered a new winch. Gonna mount the warn in the rear.

Went and got the trailer legal, 4 new rims and tires. So plenty of spares.
