Warn Industries are still going and they found adverts for the Warn winch model 800G & 800GW in their archives, see link below;

I think the winch I saw was similar to the Bejay. Belongs to a chap in Wigton that services Land Rovers.

Oddly the box that was with one of these O&R powered winches shows the outline of a Cox/Roper 140 engine on the side of the box.

Looks like one of the Cox versions came up on ePay…. I don’t know how to retrieve photos from ePay.

Did ya get it? That went real cheap. Looks like it would easily convert to an O&R powered winch

Unfortunately I didn’t win, found it right as it was finishing and threw a number in there before I had time to really review it. It does look like the O&R swap would be pretty easy.  O’well, missed another one. It’s been harder and harder to find items I don’t have and when I do I can’t afford them…

For once, the seller was right about something being rare ! LoL

I don't really search for stuff that often anymore but wish I saw that one.

I wish I would have seen it earlier and not in the last few seconds as it was closing.

I came across this post looking for info on the Warn winch you guys are talking about. I believe I am the one that bought it on eBay. The owner said it pulls over (which it does, with compression) but he said it won’t fire. I was looking for any ideas howto get a parts manual or someone I could send it off to for possible rebuild. Any help would be great. It is a GW 801 b and the serial number is 548 68

Hi Scott- great snag on the winch, I came in on the last few seconds or I would have given you a run for your money 😀

 

If it had the O&R engine I think it would be easier to get more info. I was personally very interested in that winch as I had hoped to do a conversion and swap the Cox engine to make it an O&R powered unit. I’m not that familiar with the Cox 140 engine but maybe someone else on here has some ideas.

I picked it up for pulling on logs lost underwater here in Florida, I know there are newer easier systems but I also love to watch old tools come to life and work.

There's a set of points under the flywheel which most likely need the contact surfaces cleaned.

Pull the flywheel off and have a look or post a pic.

Here's a 140 manual. I'm interested in it if you can't get it running and want to sell

I've saved them, here are a few pictures of the Warn GW801B winch with Cox/Roper 140 engine from ePay.
