OK ... I bought an entire winch assembly (winch, cable, brackets, driveline, cabin lever, PTO, bumper,etc. The unit will have to be blasted as it has been painted white. You can see the old OD paint under the white.

My question .... anyone ever rebuilt one of these? How hard is it to change all the seals. How do the bearings hold up. Would I need to worry about the bearings? How would I know (before mounting). Anything else I might need to know?

BTW - In my quest for a winch I ended up aquiring extra PTOs and an extra winch main cross brace. May be up for sale soon.
