The Warn 8274 is the winch that made Warn famous but was not designed by them. In 1959 the Belleview Company in Portland, Oregon were the 1st company to fit an electric motor to a vehicle winch. Before that vehicle winches were either PTO or hydraulic. Warn purchased the Belleview company in early 60's and badged their winch the Warm M8000. Belleview rated it 6000lbs and Warn 8000lbs. It was upgraded in 74 hence the 8274 designation.

Just in! The Dorsey Semi Trailer from the Knight Rider TV series was presumably fitted with Warn winches (to control the rear ramp and its extension).

That’s 100% not an original motor. That’s a short motor from a m8/m8000. Absolutely certain. I’ve got a 30 year motor beside me and it’s 30% longer and doesn’t look the same inside.

Youre right its not a Prestolite motor.

I have one from the very first production in 74. No date code. And no sticker. All it say on the top housing is Model 8274 stamped directly in the metal.
@mrfree14454 жыл бұрын
FYI - your winch is a 1989, not 1979. The style of the ID sticker and plastic knob (opposed to metal) says it was not a product of the 1970’s. Same winch either way just passing along the info.
@briankellum4162 жыл бұрын
I’ve got to go with’79. The metal plug was not used after about’82, snd I was seeing the plastic knob as early as ‘76. I think by ‘89 that Warn was using a different date code system as well.

Wrong. 4 pin metal plug tell me it was made before 1980.

Rebuilding 8274s is addictive, Close on Date code A=January O=Fri 19th 9=1979. Original motor would have been 2.5 hp Prestolite with a keyed shaft. I look fowaerd to next build vid.

Can you replace the post on top of the electric motor
@oliverw97093 жыл бұрын
@@cb550rider yeah, I’ve done this on a m8000. Just used a regular bolt and skimmed the head down a bit so it clears the armature. Not too difficult once you open the motor, although all my terminals were so rusted I had to split nuts off. Just beware of spinning the terminals from outside or you can destroy the internal connections. Check out Fraser warn rebuild on KZbin

I have a winch exactly like the one you have except mine doesn't have the choke pull thing on the side of it. What model would mine be? Mine looks like it's part number 8375 serial number 04411.

mine is model 8403 serial number 128664 and date code is CV9 what can you tell me about it thanks in advance
@briankellum4162 жыл бұрын
If the coding system is the same as the 8274 then CV9 would translate as follows: C= 3rd month (March) V= 22 working day (Warn didn’t work weekends) 9= 1979 (by ‘89 they were using a different coding system)
