winch service
extreme90:
its a double reduction pack :shock:
what are the connections like on the buzz bars as they are very fussy if they dont get a good contact :roll:
but, to be honest, throw them away and fit a contactor instead :roll:
altho contacters arnt bombproof, i welded mine together with my 8274 :shock: :lol:
if you tapped a solenoid then it worked then i must be 2 solenoids died, buts its very strange that both ways have gone, expecialy with it being double reducion, they usualy preddy damn good and can take a good 10 min continuous winch session with ease :?
it deffo isnt the motor looking at that, were all the brush's worn even ?
no blacking on the armeture or cummutator ?

a double what :lol: :lol: you lost me at the double bit . all the connections look very clean to be honest. i had a few of them apart to make sure. there was a small amount of dirt that had gotten into the sealed area but to be honest i would say it was very clean in the considering how much its been dunked.
the brushes all seemed clean and in good condition. they all seemed even. although one of the leads to one of the brushes was a little darker than the others....but seemed in good condition.
i have been racking my brain as to why it stopped working and when. i think i have remembered the last time i used it was a pretty hard recovery of a stricken 90. it too 3 winches pulling at once to free him. mine got quite hot :oops: ....... but it was a case of do or die as the play site was closing, myself and 2 other marshals had to get the poor bloke out. :wink:
maybe this is what has caused the problems. i wouldnt say i overloaded it but it did work hard.
so do i get the albrights and then see if it works ok?
i dont really know the ins and outs of a winch :oops: im learning on the run , as today was the first time ive taken one apart
denviks:
this maybe a silly question ......but here goes.
i have been reading about winches for what seems like days now....the message i am getting is " if you suspect your solinoids are knackered you should check the operation of the motor "
now all the tests i have read have told you to connect certain wires to make the motor work.....but all these tests have been done on warn winches and as such say things like ..." connect F2 to F1 "
if i take a picture of my solinoids complete with wires in would anyone be able to tell me which colour wires to connect to check the motor ?
any help would be brilliant. things are a little tight here at the moment so could do without buying an albright if not really needed and the problem is somewhere else
Mudlark:
(at Den speed :lol: :lol: )
on the motor the three terminals make a triangle
two terminals close together - one on it's own
if you connect the single terminal on the motor (the one at the top of the triangle) to one of the pair
then put your + feed to the other one of the pair the motor should work if it's ok
<Edit>
PS the albright is cheaper than a motor :lol: :lol: :lol:
denviks:
cheers bud.....i will go out and have a look :wink: .... saying that you might hear someone scream in the next 10 mins " MAN ON FIRE " :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
