P.T.O. Winch

Hi Bob

I have an Thomas Winch. They are built in Australia and popular with the military. I'm just rebuilding mine now. Very robust and simple.
Striped it down because it looked so bad on the outside from years of neglect. Turns out it's all fine anyway, but bearings etc are all commonly avaliable if needed.

I don't know if they're still trading, however they were popular on old Landrovers before the swicth in popularity to electric winches. Still see plenty secondhand for sale.

Do you have enough space to get a shaft from the PTO to the front of the vehicle?

Cheers
Ken

I want a 7.3 Lt Diesel Auto for my GQ :(

Do Ford have any info on the PTO's?? maybe get a brand name off of them, and go with it..??? Maybe check ford sites in USA for brand and model, adn call local importers?

www.andiline.com.au while not having much on their website, do have a large range of PTO's etc. Many PTO mounts are SAE fittings. A hydraulic winch would work well.

Better not talk about the fuel consumption of the 7.3L auto!
