I bought my 570 Outy in the spring of 2015 for plowing and general yard work and have the stock Warn Provantage Winch. I didn't use it much until the winter plowing season. Gradually I had problems with the winch not operating… clicking noise that I figured was the contactor, and by the time I figured it out, the bike was out of warranty so I replaced it myself.
The Provantage 3000 parts manual lists part number 76429, but a Warn 62135 is what’s installed. The Provantage 3000 is the CanAm OEM and I was unable to get any clarity on-line. (Years ago there was a recall on the 8-post 62135 contactor, but mine is 4-post with the same number, so no free replacement.) I decided to go with the KFI replacement winch contactor (~$35) since it was half the price of a Warn 63073 contactor that is a substitute.
The KFI contactor fit the mounting holes and the posts were all located in the same locations as the Warn unit. One difference: On the Warn contactor I replaced, the green contactor wire went to the red switch wire and the black contactor wire went to the blue switch wire. On the KFI contactor, the black contactor wire goes to the red switch wire and the green contactor wire goes to the blue switch wire. I found the KFI bullet connectors are installed to properly connect the switch, even though the wire colors are reversed.
Of minor note, the contactor wire on the Warn unit was a heavier gauge and the Warn unit's case seemed to be better finished. But the proof is in the pudding and the Warn units have a well documented history of failure.
