Winch Repair or Replacement

...and SUCCESS!!!

My new motor came in, and I hooked it up last night. Everything works! I still need to go through all the electrical and replace some connectors and clean things up, but the solenoids all work, the controller works, and after having a very heavy paperweight for almost a decade, the winch actually turns. I'll post up some pics once I get it all mounted.

Thanks again for all the advice!

Man, I'm glad I stuck with this thing. It feels good to get the old girl up and running, and most importantly, attached to the Jeep! I fabbed up a control box mount that I will probably re-do more sooner than later, as it sits WAY too high, and I'll need to replace some of the mounting hardware with more appropriately-sized pieces. The wiring was dead simple, although I'd like to get some bolts to utilize the side terminals on my battery and clean up that connection.
