[@vijayantgovender2045]

Thank you Andy I always love watching your wonderful videos I am from South Africa

Great that we could see inside a winch an item many take for granted ! 🤘🇬🇧 Greetings from Teeside

[@AndyMechanic]

Thanks. They aren't all that complicated so relatively easy to repair once you know what you're looking for :-) Cheers Andy

swamped my Grizzly last fall and winch worked to get it out. Did everything needed to restart including all new fluids but never thought about winch again till recently. clicks at the solenoid but motor does nothing. Reviewing this video before i go any further. just wondering if something else to try before diving in???

40:24 Part 3,4 & 5 when you took the cog that acts like a clutch that spring part No 4 was not with the cog.

Nice video! A lot of these smaller units are only rated for a 5% duty cycle. It states in the manual that they are only allowed to pull max load for 45 seconds in a 15 minute period. 45 seconds of pull, then 14 minutes and 15 seconds rest time. If the customer were to pull hard on this thing for 5 full minutes....thats way past its duty cycle rating

Yes, I read the 'table' in the Owners Manual a few weeks ago - crazy limited time of usage, I doubt many people are even aware of this aspect. I'll include it in my next winch video - I have another one to strip & poss repair... Cheers Andy

Nice work, Andy. like your idea of repairing thinks and not throwing them away. 😉 Looking forward for the gearbox vídeo. Would you consider installing an aftermarket new bearing and brush pack as worn only sells the case?

[@AndyMechanic]

Yes, Definitely, provided the armature is in good order & they seem to be of good quality etc...does seem odd that Warn don't supply a service kit for the motor! Cheers Andy

[@forevercomputing]

If you know some places, you can have the armature re-wound and buy the brushes and put them in. Plus, bearings are bearings... I found a place that can upgrade a motor and make it more powerful

The complaint was winch dont work.Thats a pretty solid complaint,one of the best.

[@TimberLineNorth]

ThankYou.

The most common reason this happens is when the user powers out the cable for a long time. Not using the free spool. The motor never gets a chance to cool. Just lazy people who don’t want to walk back and forth or new users who don’t understand how to use a winch!

[@simonrawle7885]

i want to see how that clutch works. looks a simple system

[@AndyMechanic]

Hi Simon, yes, I'll maybe take a closer look when I do the final assembly video. Will likely be a few weeks away once the parts turn up :-) See you on the livestream tomorrow... Cheers Andy

[@simonrawle7885]

@@AndyMechanic sorry andy im off out tonight but have a good week

[@AndyMechanic]

Cheers. You too Simon :-)

Or check the gearbox first..if its kaputt the motor is losing money to by a new one.
