Still celebrating Christmas and it was the only time our son can come up to do stuff like this. He did find the problem today. It was item ref #5, Stage 2 Sun Gear #70390 on their parts list. It is under $30. I have written to Warn and sent them pictures of this gear. This winch is lightly used with no grit, dirt or water inside. Our son feels the part was defective and not hardened sufficiently when it was made. I will attach a picture of the damaged gear so that it might help others with this problem.

That looks like a sintered vs machine-cut gear. Not gonna be the strongest, just much lower cost to produce.

Which Badlands do you have a like, the 2500 lb, 5000 lb or the 12,000 lb one? Where are they made?

And how do you use your winches? For muddy work or less dirty work?

For sale at Harbor Freight, made in China, and by the pictures, its same winch many retailers sell under their own branding.... My XRC 10,000 pound looks suspiciously the same as HF winch ... Probably all come from same factory in China under one design....

I have the HF 12k with wireless, works good. Don't use it a ton though.
