Specifications
| Price (US) | Not published No verified manufacturer-published MSRP found specific to the -50 legacy unit (part 38631); a reseller listing shows $3,212.99 discounted to $963.90, but that figure is identical to WARN's current, structurally different M8274 (part 106170, 10,000 lb spur-gear model, $3,212.99 MSRP on warn.com) and appears to be reused/conflated rather than -50-specific, so no price is listed rather than a guess |

How we checked
WARN's classic M8274-50 (part 38631) is a distinct, older worm/spur-gear military-pattern winch still sold alongside WARN's modern M8274 (part 106170); the two are easily confused since both current WARN pages reference "M8274" family naming. Winches Inc's authorized-dealer spec sheet reproduces WARN's own published data for the -50: 8,000 lb single-line rated capacity, spur gear train, 150 ft of 5/16 in steel cable, 4.6 hp (12V) / 2.5 hp (24V) series-wound motor, sliding-motor-pinion-gear freespooling clutch, 12 ft remote switch lead, 79.3 ft/min no-load retrieval speed, automatic disc brake, and 110 lb weight. No numeric gear ratio or IP ingress rating is published for this legacy design, so both are left blank rather than estimated. WARN's own M8274-50 manual (ManualsLib-hosted) was consulted but its OCR text was not legible enough to independently corroborate gear ratio.
