Thanks for the heads up on the Silverback series, after your review and the stellar reviews from buyers on the site, I decide to pick up the 9500lb Silverback & winch mount.

- 1955 CJ3B: Dart/AFR aluminum 441 sbc, AGE M22W trans, "super" D18 w/ TeraLows & OD, FF44 PowrLoc Rear, D44 front-ARB/Reid/Dutchman, 4 wheel discs, York OBA, PP welder, 8274, glass/aluminum body, 33-12.5's;
1968 CJ5: all stock (V6/T86/D18) except 4bbl & headers and rear aux tank, HD rear 44 housing, Warn OD, Belleview winch;
2012 JKU Rubicon: Warn 9.5xp-s in Warn Elite, RSE rear bumper/tire carrier, Mopar lift, 35-12.5's, ARB OBA;
1947 2A and 49 3A that may or may not get built, and several FC/wagon derelicts
I don't think the 8274 is out dated in any way. I have the 9.5 xp-s on the 2012 Rubicon and it works great but it is certainly not any better than the 8274 on the 3B and I don't think it is as fast. Almost a given that the spur gear drive is more expensive to manufacture than most or all of the planetary stuff now on the market but is certainly not inferior.
The main difference between the 8274-50 and the original 8274 is the series wound motor and splined pinion on the dash 50. The rest of the parts are interchangable as far as I know and you can use the new motors on the older winches by just changing to the new pinion. Just one hell of a winch. That it is still available new after nearly 40 years pretty much says it all.

Chattanooga Armature I believe. Used them before for work related builds. Over near Dodds and fourth st. There's another place but can't recall the name.
