    Apples, my nephew has just tried to fit a warn 9000lb low mount to an arb winch bar and found the motor is too long to allow alignment with the holes in the bar. I would have put money on it fitting but it didn't without Ne holes being drilled, was approx 15mm off centre or long on one side. Mention it just in case you start into the swap and it appears to go tits up.

    you may have to move the gear box 90 degrees a s well,
    Like I said get the tape out and see where the holes are
    and if it will physyically fit, I had to space my 9.5Xp Warn
    up about 30mm from memory

    Tried the gearbox rotation and turning the winch over 180 degrees - simply would not align. Anyway redrilled the holes and wired it up - smoke tested the motor, so appears the motor is full of mud, won't be going on the vehicle for use this weekend.

    Bummer might want to put and air pressure line to it using those ole air horn pumps and a needle valve
    Then just before you hit the water or mud you press the button and pressurize the winch , dont needmuch air but it works a treat
    even works on Petrol powered dizzies

    A common but very irritating problem with the Warns.

    Usually caused by whoever fits the winch not following the correct procedure and rotating the motor so the drain is at 6 o'clock if the winch isn't mounted 'horizontal' with reference to the mounting feet.
    Warns come from the factory( at least all the ones I have seen) with the winch set up to bolt up onto the top of a horizontal plate.
    Most aussie optioned winch bars are set up for a vertical attachment which moves the drain from 6 o'clock to 3 o'clock so the motor will half fill with dust/water/mud
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    Ah Ha, thats what causes it. I will pay attention to this when he drops it around for me to dry out and get it going. He is a total boghole crazy young guy so it will be full of water and mud for sure.

    Yeah we had a warn fitted to a work car and they forgot to rotate so the drain hole was at the bottom. The motor was stuffed after months, the only water it saw was driving in the rain., crazy! ! Lucky they did a warranty for us don't think they were happy with the apprentice. . .
