Thread: Warn Winch Motors - Will a 6hp fit?

Bump

I think this was discussed on Outer's a few years back ?

Might pay to do a search there ?

Hi Jock,

It depends on the year from memory. They changed the input gear in the housing but I can't remember the exact details

if it had the 4.6hp standard I think it will as I swapped the 6hp from an xp onto my 8274-50 which had the 4.6hp motor.

cheers

As far as I'm aware the XP9.5 or 9500 (???) is just an XD9000 with a 6hp motor.

I think the motor does just go straight on, and all of the warm motors are interchangable, but the 6hp is pretty big and you may find the winch when mounted is already up against the chassis rail with the 4.6hp, yet the 6hp being longer wont fit.

Thanks for your posts, I may just stick with the standard motor

If the difference in the input gears is only the motor shaft being keyed (early) or splined (late) then they should interchange (they will on the 8274 and the motors aree the same) and so the motors should interchange also but the length is in question.

You can buy the input gear which will allow an older winch to take the newer motor. Check eBay.

I can call warn while I'm at work tomoz and find out if u like?
