I too have the Badlands 12000lb winch, on my 86 M1009. It didn't miss a beat high in the Rockies outside Rifle, Colorado on our annual Elk hunting trip in early November. It is slow but.. it pulled my fully loaded truck pulling a M101A3 trailer with my old Yamaha Grizzly 600 ATV in it. Straight...
can these be rebuilt?? If not, does it make sense to buy a used one, or will I have this problem again in the near future. The 1009 is primarily only used for hunting once a year, and occasional joy riding and 4 wheeling.

all of this CUCV /...

Planning a November Rocky Mountain Elk hunting trip. My route will take me from Denver to Rifle Colorado up I-70, over two rather daunting passes! Then a 20 mile off-road trek at low speed. I want to use my m1009 to pull an M101A3 trailer with an '01 Yamaha Grizzly 600 4x4 ATV on the trailer...
