Warn winch rebuilding

[Tom]

Just wanted to share some photos of my rebuild of 3 Warn M12000 winches.

The hardest/worst part is the gear case, all 3 contained water and mud combined with grease. A absolute mess to clean.



Because these winches spent most of their life on the front of a truck that has been driven in the winter, they are badly pitted and corroded.



Two of the winches are 2003, and the third I would say is a 1996 (I have only partly pulled apart the 1996)



Kind of condition/corrosion:





Parts sandblasted:





Gears washed and re-greased:





Painting:





Fresh Paint Job/Rebuilt motor:





Drums Machined:







New Gaskets:





All Assembled:





New Seals:





Drums Painted:







All Finished (minus the electrical)







Still putting in together.. have a box of new bushings.

Working on that right now. It has a couple of machined surfaces that can't be sandblasted as they need to be within a a certain tolerance. I think I will take them to a buddy's machine shop so he can machine them on his lathe. Will see what he says and I will keep you updated!

Updated! More pictures added!

Just finished rebuilding my Warn winch as well! Anyone need any help let me know, I can set you up! The warn winch is actually a very simple system and not hard to repair. I also got a new motor for 70 bucks and it works perfect!!!
