Tearing into the new-to-me M8000 winch. Overall, not bad. The main problem is about a 95% failure of the powder coating on the cast aluminum parts - the repaint won't be to concourse standards for sure, but will be fine. There's a missing thrust washer on the armature shaft, the clutch handle o-ring is toast (and Goddess only knows what size it is), but over-all its in great shape. I know the gearbox is full of congealed grease that will need to be cleaned out, but that's no biggie. Motor brushes are 3/4" in length - well in spec. Armature looks very good. But I'm glad I'm in no hurry for this thing as its going to take me a bit of time to work through it.
