It's such a treat to have a mid-week Mustie1 video pop up in the feed! I have repaired many items simply by taking them apart and cleaning and lubing them (if there are no broken pieces), and this was a perfect example of the concept! I've had people see what I am doing and saying, "aren't you afraid that you're going to break it?" Heck, it was already broken... how much worse can I make it?

Yep, always figured if it was broken anyways, I had nothing to lose, and everything to gain, might as well give it a shot. Worst case it ends up in the NFG pile, but if it was destined for the scrapyard anyways...

When the Dremel brush went full bloom, I spit my coffee! Made my morning.

Wow what a feast A midweek Mustie1 video So good. Extra coffee and snacks on midweek.

Can we just stop and appreciate the fact this man used a rachet wrench. So many folks these days use an electric impact or cordless ratchet. Not that they aren't useful, but I do enjoy using my hand tools.✌️

When you were wire brushing the armature and held it by the ends to let it spin, I had a big, big smile and the smiley thought, "You are having too much fun! 😄😄😄😄😄😄" came to my mind. I would have done the same thing and enjoyed it myself!!!

There are many joys in life. One is waking up to a Mustie1 video on a Wednesday morning with a huge cup of coffee!

You are spoiling us Mustie with your mid-week video. Thank you!

Those motors were originally built as outboard starters for Mercury. Since then they have been appropriated for many outdoor low voltage applications. I rebuilt dozens when I worked in an automotive electrical shop. I don't believe they were ever meant to be water-tight. One thing you missed that might have improved its performance was cleaning the commutator surface (the part the brushes rub against.) Be sure to scrape out the grooves between the bars too. Good job getting it running.

Sintered bronze also known as oilight bushings are basically just porous bronze material. They are usually pre-soaked in a lubricant from the factory but reoiling them is not a problem. It just soaks in and becomes lubricant for the bearing.

Great repair of an old winch! When someone fixes and uses an old item (1977) that is proper "circular economics". Thanks for the mid week video mate! I'm hoping the grease keeps the water out - let us know in 12 months.

Oooo...a midweek Bonus Mustie.. Get the same good feeling as finding a $20 bill in your pants pocket when doing laundry!

A quick suggestion for you for next time. (As if there won't be a next time doing something like this... 😁) A quick soak in something like CLR, (or your favorite de-scaling product) and then a short dip in something basic, like baking soda and water, or weak sodium hydroxide, will do wonders for getting all the hidden crud out.

That was a good repair, it seemed workable. A thorough cleaning, and back in business. Good job.

I have always appreciated the fact that you recognize aluminum rust and call it what it is.

A great day with Mustie!

you could try glueing the broken brush together using JB Weld. it's an epoxy glue with iron powder added and will conduct electricity. i did just that for a very old repulse induction motor, they use brushes and a commutator for starting. the motor is still in regular service and starts perfectly after maybe 5 years. it's a 4 hp 240 volt and powers my thickness planer

Superglue is quicker and also works.

I was fixing an electric pump that went through the 2013 floods in Australia years ago. I got it going a couple of times, only to have it seize up again after it sat for a week or so. The last time I pulled it apart, I cleaned it up again and smeared grease all through it and wiped it off again. That pump is still going today and as good as new.

Great to see a mustie video always look forward to them on Sunday

Rebuilt hundreds of these motors as an auto electrician apprentice for bulk haul semi trailer tarp drive systems (the tarps that cover the top of the trailer tipper bodies that prevent the sand/soil/aggregate flying out). Definitely oil the rear bush (I generally filled the bush, and then using my thumb I pressed to try and impregnate the bronze with oil, then got rid of the excess) and spray the brushes and brush-box with a light coat of WD-40, helps prevent the brushes sticking and also good for repelling moisture. Check the brush springs to make sure they aren't rusted. Also used to pop the armature in the lathe and either give the commutator a quick linish or a light cut if it was worn, and then undercut the segments. Also be sure to give the magnets a good shove to make sure they haven't come off, often had to re-glue them. Then I would use some neutral cure silicone to seal the end cap to the body and the body of the motor to the tarp drive gearbox. We also had a plate made up to close up the motor and locate the drive end for testing. Mercury outboards used that style motor as a starter motor as well so that can be a handy source for parts.

Great video. But as someone who drives a rescue vehicle i would offer one piece of advice. ALWAYS place a blanket over the cable when pulling. I have seen those snap and destroy everything. Plus hurt people. The moving blankets from harbor freight work great.

I could watch you fix a box of tooth picks . lol Thanks for the video .

Kneadable eraser. Wow, brings back memories of the days of my drafting classes and that funky smell 😄👍🏻

good fix....the winch seems well made...and it comes apart.

Have you considered using a “cat head” winch? It uses rope/cable, does not store on a spool, turns continuously, and pulls as you pull tension on the rope/cable. Hook up to your load, wrap 3 turns on the drum, and pull tension on it. If you let it go slack, it stops pulling. Pull tension, the load moves. With this system, you can use as long a cable as you like, load a car by yourself (as you can steer while you load it), use it vertical or horizontal. Many benefits!

HVAC/Refrigeration guy here. Yep, always make marks or scribe lines to index the end bells so you can line them back up. Can't tell you how many motors I've just taken apart to clean and lube, and then they run like new. Unless they fail electrically, it's usually just dry or dirty bearings.

thank you so much for the mid-week video bloody awesome can we plz have more videos and longer videos as here in Australia i look forward to getting your videos every Sunday night. and can't wait for your next video thankyou so much take care from Robert in Australia

Warn makes the best winches.I would’ve never guessed that it was from 1977.For second there i thought the front tire steering assembly was gonna bend or rip off.

Your spoiling us this week Mustie!!

So, a silicon bronze oil impregnated bushing, whether to add a light oil. The question answers itself. Lube. Mustie1 mid week is a treat by itself. Thank you for sharing. My ultimate compliment, is, after years of watching, and I truly believe this, if you wanted to, you could push a rope...

Built in 1977? Too bad it wasn't built in 1976, that was a much better year to start in! 😊 nice fix, thanks for the vid!

I admire the fact that you took your time and figured out what was wrong with this old-school winch, instead of just chucking it in the trash and running down to China Freight and buying one that you would be lucky to get two years of use out of before it crapped out.

@Bobbywolf64

You can still buy a new warn winch to replace it (if he couldn't fix his old one). Although they are in the neighborhood of $4-500. People just see the price, opt for the $99 harbor freight special, then complain when it breaks that things aren't like they used to be. Good stuff is still out there, you just need to be willing to pay for it.

Mustie, that was a very good explanation about cable reel diameters & the winch's capability to pull heavy loads (22:45). Never thought about that before, but it now makes perfect sense. Thanks!

awesome, it just shows how a little bit a cleaning can fix most things. We live in a throw away society and that would have been tossed by most people. Yes I know most people don't have Dremel kits, or tools or a work space or a scotch pad, but this is why in the past we had repair places all over, now they are very rare.

To stand a chance of running an electric motor has to spin freely. Once they get up and going they develop torque. Some motors are designed to break free under load. The compressor duty motors etc. All are not going to like being bound up and seized.

Light machine oils are good enough for bronze bearings, it gets into the pores of the metal, and then gets in between the shaft and bearing to make it all nice and smooth-running... :)

Mustie, For small bottle brushes I have phosphor bronze brushes used for cleaning rifles. Grab a selection of sizes from .22 Cal through to 12 gauge shot gun. Really handy to have.

Dear Mustie1 👍👌👏 Success. Please kindly allow me to suggest that you read the comment from "Dry roasted". It's exactly what I thought instantly too about cleaning out the grooves. Additionally a little/small kind of roof/cover wouldn't hurt either. Best regards, luck and health in particular.

Glad to see a mid-week video! Sometimes it sucks having to wait until Sunday

And I thought today was gonna suck. Thanks for the Wednesday video Mustie!!

I use STP Oil treatment for sleeve bearings, should also run a pick between the segments the brushes run on.

"Oilite" bushings are bronze impregnated with oil and the design is to let the oil out as it heats up, so it is okay to add some light machine oil or even non detergent 30 weight oil can be used. Oilite bushings were developed by Chrysler in the 30's and have been used ever since. Never use grease on a oil impregnated bushing as that will render it useless. I love how Mustie simply takes it apart cleans it up and rehabs it back to new, instead of throwing it away and trying to replace it with brand new.

Great how to video, sometimes its just a cleaning. I agree with "Dry Roasted" cleaning the communtaors and the grooves (called Mica build-up) it will keep each segment of the commentator from working in proper sequence for alternation etc. against the fields. thanks for sharing! ECF

Good video! 4th I have watched this week where a electric motor or generator is stripped down and cleaned and lubed and lived again! You put it back on upside down! Also I would have glued that broken brush so at least it has the same shape and wear. Also a plastic cover or bag over the complete winch on the truck will keep the rain and snow out!

Mustie, looking at the start of the video you installed the motor upside down at the end. 🙂 Still, it works so no big deal. Nice fix!

As a 20+ year industrial electrician, one of the indisputable facts of motor life is that no matter how hard you try you'll never keep the water out, so my solution was to drill small piss holes at the lowest point of the motor housing. Standing water in contact with the inner motor housing is one of the worst things that can happen to a motor. Just my 2 cents worth of advice.

Another great fix. With the cleaning noises from the pick and the drill was anyone else thinking 'aagh dentist!'

A nice little win , spent a few minutes and saved a few quid . To help prevent the problem reoccurring how about a cover of some sort . A piece of half round gutter ? The mighty Mustie prevails again .

16:15 that should be your motto and plastered on merchandise. Such a good channel.

Looks exactly like the starter motor for my Mercury outboard. You should clean the commutator strips for the brushes. Go ahead and grease the bushings.

Gotta love a mid week Mustie 👍🏽

I did NOT see that one coming back. Nicely done!

Thanks for the bonus video. I was giving you a 25% chance of fixing that winch, but you came through clutch.

that little wire brush bit looks like it was having a bad hair day 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hello there cowboy here again well first of all next time saturate the armature with WD 40 after cleaning the worst of the surface corrosion then light emery cloth let it just sit wet for a while in the shop we'd have used brass brushes then soaked it in The WD overnight even better if it's worm not hot as for lube the best for the bushing is dry grafite lube it doesn't hold dirt and lasts a long time then to seal it up either a "o" ring or cardboard gasket soaked in grease make those bolts snug but don't really tork down on it it'll just bind up the armature and kill it again fairly soon anyway also don't forget to lube the cable spool so remember always be safe healthy and happy God Bless 🤠

I wonder if a few hours in a hot sonic cleaner wouldn't have knocked all that poo off the stator and rotor (stator is a bit more resilient, so getting corrosion and pitting out with scotch brite was best)...and would have been somewhat more gentle than a wire wheel I wonder if a bead of gasket maker black and set for 30 min, would seal better than the grease, also make sure the gearbox is packed with grease Great job! Keep em coming!!!!

Thanks, perfect timing for me as the winch on our tractor has almost given up the ghost and we need it to help harvest some firewood.
