The (red) T-Handle cover on the side of my OE Warn winch managed to fall off someplace in the woods, so looking for a replacement. Checked with my Yamaha dealer and they claim they can't get parts for the OE Warn winch.

Any enterprising individuals 3D printing these by chance? Or anyone know where to find one online?

2020 Kodiak 700 EPS SE.

TIA

Did you check with warn?
It's a warn winch, not a Yamaha winch. Warn would be the one that has parts of anyone.

Waiting on a reply from Warn support. It's just a plastic handle, figured it might be worth asking if someone were 3D printing these, maybe even in different colors as a replacement.

Did you look down on the skid plates to see if it is down there?

I've lost a few things and found them when I have pulled the bottom front skid plate off.

I did look at my winch and don't have anything like a T handle. I do have the dial to put the winch into freespool but no T

Same here, I have never seen a T handle, it's always been a dial.


You have a good point about the skid plates, last summer my coworker picked up a 2017 grizzly and we did a complete maintenance on it. Pulled the OEM skids to clean some old leaves and found 2 crushed beer cans, almost a dollar in change, a bic lighter and a dried out squirrel, and packed tight with leaves.

Sounds like that squirrel had a heck of a party - beer, money for the squirrel strippers, and leaves for a nice little bed....

That's how I found it missing actually, when I installed my Iron Baltic skids. Warn calls it a T handle, looking at the parts cutaway, the freespool dial has a center piece that makes it look kind of 'tee' like.

I'm sure after I find a replacement, I'll stumble across the lost one on the trail (once the snow melts).

I did a quick search to even see if someone had created a stl file for warn plastic winch parts and really only came away with scale models of a winch for toys. Yes, there were a couple of other winch related items but nothing like the t-handles. And Warn has many different t-handles so it just seems unlikely you'll find something. Designing something like that takes lots of time and then multiple versions of prototypes to get it right. Heck, one completely unrelated item I've done a 3d design for, from scratch, took 5 prototypes before I was satisfied with it.
