I had a Koenig King 100 model PTO winch on my 77 blazer. that thing was from like 1955 I think! Worked the balls! Nothing beats hearing that drive shaft creaking and cranking!

Warn 8274 here, checked the date code and it was built in '76  Almost as old as I am, and works much better  Made my own winch plate. The M8274 is a great winch that is still made today. Fastest line speed out there, and runs cooler with the motor seperate from the drum.
A hawse fairlead is the solid metal slot that the cable routes through. It's edges are rounded to prevent burring or kinking of the cable. The upgrade is the roller fairlead. It's what's in my pic.
Pinaplebob, good job on converting that bumper, looks great.

Ramseys are good winches at a good price, cheaper that warn and almost every bit as good.
what you are lookin for is line speed and HPs, the 8274 is probably the best winch made but isnt worth that $1000 IMO, you can get a good winch for ALOT cheaper.
a hawse fairlead is just a plate w/o rollers

Oooooooooooooooo jealousy!!!!!! I had one on my 79 F-150 and I kick myself for selling it with the truck. 
(The 8274's weren't always that exspensive. That 1k unit is a remake) As far as working (Daily use)winches it's well worth the grand. The hydrolic and pto set ups are the only thing better. |

I was checking out an awesome M8274 the other day, on the front of an old Dodge pickup whose owner was a logger. It had an AMC decal where the Warn decal usually is on the top cover, and said "'Jeep Winch' made exclusively for Jeep by Warn". Man that'd be a cool relic to own.
I picked mine up for $100 and took it apart, going through and cleaning it up real good. The gears were in perfect shape. New cable and controller and I've got about $250 into a fast powerful winch.
