the warn atv winch in the back of my truck lives outside, well this spring I went to us it pulling a tractor into the bed and nothing but sparks. lets see what happened and if we can fix it,

Mustie, that was a very good explanation about cable reel diameters & the winch's capability to pull heavy loads (22:45). Never thought about that before, but it now makes perfect sense. Thanks!
I did NOT see that one coming back. Nicely done!
Bro of it's built it can be fix😢all depends on how far u want to take it
Have you considered using a “cat head†winch? It uses rope/cable, does not store on a spool, turns continuously, and pulls as you pull tension on the rope/cable. Hook up to your load, wrap 3 turns on the drum, and pull tension on it. If you let it go slack, it stops pulling. Pull tension, the load moves. With this system, you can use as long a cable as you like, load a car by yourself (as you can steer while you load it), use it vertical or horizontal. Many benefits!
Your a legend, from the UK
Who's the new guy ahaha
it's got wodder in it…keep us entertained Mustie1
Roll up a piece of sand paper… works for me!
What do you think of motorkote
Winches are rated on the "first wrap".
I humbly submit, I think it’s called a muffkin. 😊
Love the weekday special time for a coffee and a bit of mustie 1.Nice
A quick suggestion for you for next time. (As if there won't be a next time doing something like this… ðŸ˜) A quick soak in something like CLR, (or your favorite de-scaling product) and then a short dip in something basic, like baking soda and water, or weak sodium hydroxide, will do wonders for getting all the hidden crud out.
“Non-serviceableâ€ðŸ˜‰
used WD-40 that is what it was made for W after D displacement.
Explaining how the cable length matters I don't think you'll understand it that little bit of cable difference doesn't matter it's all about the electric motor how much it can handle with a load before overheating
Graphite might help that center shaft if you can't get oil on it. If nothing else just go after it with a pencil.
There is a special electric motor oil that does not oxidize in air.
Hey man, thanks for the videos. Have given me alot of de-stressing.
The ocd in me manifested as a knowitall split personality and forced me to ask.
thought @12:10
Why not use liquid gasket like supbra blue or similar. And on the Axels a weak smear of marine grease.
Just a thought.
Anyhow thanks again for the content.
I use wheel bearing grease on my lawn tractor starter bushings. I didn't think they should be dry.
Regarding the more power needed per bigger spool just remember pedaling your bike, then changing up a gear and it becomes harder to pedal. Regards, Tiny, Lincolnshire UK ðŸ˜
Orange RTV works amazing on those case seals. Don't forget to gasket washer the bolts
Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Great video one again 🙂🙂
its called mageic lude
show me haw thety work ?.
Just a drop of 3-1 electrical motor oil. 😎
Tie a Walmart bag around it when not in use. Great video..
Good JOB Dogg!!!!!!!!
Always great videos Mustie! Excellent video and audio quality, plus, outstanding troubleshooting and repair skills. Wish I had 1/4 of your talent. Thanks for sharing your extensive knowledge; sprinkled with a little humor along the way. When it comes to great YouTubers, you’re in a class by yourself.ðŸ‘
maybe the whole housing/magnets were flipped 180 (end for end). that could through the magnet placement(brush alignment) off and make it bind, even with the keying aligned.
as the brush end is rotated slightly the current draw will change some in forward vs. reverse. probably not enough to effect it's performance greatly, in such high power draw heavy load usage, vs a long running device like an floor scrubber or pumping device. 🤪
14:32 part nu!ber right there, could get some new carbon brushes for it if needed.
of course it will work your amazing
Mustie, I think those bearings might be "sintered bronze", not "silica bronze". It's a porous casting of powdered bronze impregnated with a high-quality lubricant. It's safe to soak them in a bath of hot oil if you think they might have dried out, but they do have a very long life without the need for more oil unless they have been overheated.
I use a dry lube on the shafts seems to work good!!
A loading winch equals more stuff brought home.

Exactly the way I would have played it. Mid-week treat from Mustie.
Why don’t you beta reversing switch that will send one polarity when in one position and another when it is in the other position.
Why don’t you dry it out and spray it with FlexSeal. I waterproof stuff all the time with it.
When the Dremel brush went full bloom, I spit my coffee! Made my morning.
Quite clearly reassembled with the motor 180 degrees out. The two labels were aligned at the start. very confusing explanation of reduced pulling power as the cable drum fills. The winch is capable of a certain torque in foot-Lbs. More feet = less pounds pull thats it, plain and simple. "Silicon Bronze bush??" WTF! its a sintered oilite bush that needs to be soaked in oil now and then to work. All the grease attempts as sealing are wasted as the long screws will let in the water as before. Need to fit Dowty seals under the bolt heads .
For winch wrap it’s something like 20% decrease after the first layer then 10% decrease for each successive wrap.
So pulleys help recover that loss but cut the speed in half. So it’s a trade off
