Found a used Warn M8000 locally.
Its in decent shape but needs a few things. Here’s what I know so far:
- Missing ground screw (M8 x 1.25 x 12mm)
- Missing ground lead (2 guage, 72in) - Spartan Power
- Winch line is kinked and I want to run synthetic
- Winch free spools fine, but the lever is very difficult to turn. I’ll crack the gearbox and see where its getting hung up.
- Mounting hardware
- Square nuts (3/8-16)
- Washers (3/8)
- Bolts (3/8-16 x 1 1/4”)
- One of the contactor plug pins is bent. The plug wont insert all the way in. Winch works, but I’m going to see if I can fix the pin.
- General clean up, grease and paint
- Decal for the side of the contactor pack because vanity
Is there a specific grade I need to get for the mounting square nuts? Stainless? Zinc?
For the clutch lever stiffness, what should I be looking for when I open the gear box?
Any tips for straightening/correcting the bent contactor pin?
