well I've got an old 9000 ramsey that wont pull. I believe it used to belong to KYJ10 at one point. the solenoids look all new, but when I hit the switch, they just click. the motor looks very shot. Anyone have an idea, or know of a good place to buy a new motor? thanks

Never had a winch motor apart, but it sounds like the solenoid is working and you can probably get it to run by taking it apart and cleaning the armature... maybe replace the brushes (assuming they are replaceable.
I got an old Volvo marine starter to work this way, just with a good cleaning and it had sat under water in a flooded bilge for a good long time.
Either way you have to take it apart, may as well see if it'll clean up and run.

If it won't clean up as Elliott mentioned any local auto/marine electric shop should be able to rebuild it for you.

Was it coroded dirty? or coroded rusted out? I mean if its just dirty try to clean it up some (if possible) and slap it back together and see if it works. Just rember to spray everything good and clean with some cheap carb spray and line it back up good with the marks you made (you did mark the cases right?) and it might work.
