jai_landrover Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Just picked up a bargain PTO, while I could probably sell it for a profit I'd quite Like the idea of using it in some way or other. I can fabricate rear crossmember mounts for various things. But my question is: Has anyone ever fitted one to a 90 or indeed was there ever a factory fit option???

tacr2man Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 How do they route them without a rear pto hole in the rear X member , unless its a hydraulic drive item ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 This must be easier on a 90, as there is not fuel tank in the way (at least on pre Td5 models) Can't say I've ever seen a rear PTO on a Defender, but I like the idea of one.

miketomcat Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Never seen one but there was a custom tank for a 110 on eBay last year that had a channel in the top the tank to accommodate the shaft so someone has done it. There has also been several rear facing pto's for an lt230 (i would quite like one for a pto center winch on the ibex but that's another idea).

jai_landrover Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Only paid £50 for the tranny box and Pto and it worked out I finished work within 10 miles of the guys house. I think I may have to cut a big hole in the cross member and tube it. I just know I want to make use it. It's not something you see every day in a 90 or ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jai_landrover Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Was on a face ache page. Couldn't say no tbh Had a couple of results latley. Went to get a rear draw bent up to my design for the 90 full depth. The guy said yes no problem now I semi know the guy use him for all my sheet metal and he is really really good. He told me to come upstairs and he shows me one he made for his 110 which he sold. It wasn't full depth and had wings that went over the seat boxes where my mobile storage lockers will eventually go. He said take it away or it will get scrapped. I offered him a few quid but he flatly refused. So I'm adapting it to work. Will bolt it in tomorrow eve.

jai_landrover Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Still asked for my own design as I want two separate draws one for tools and one for other hobbys toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I've got a forward facing pto drop box which I may chop about but I probably should get the ibex on the road first. Besides 45 has a fairey 525 on it so I guess I should be happy with that for now. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jai_landrover Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Actually Mike I thought if you when I picked this up. I wrapped it up good and proper so it wouldn't get my car dirty. I remember coming down 3 hrs after picking my brand new co car to your place to pick up some old axles. You asked how old and I said 3hrs Lol many moons ago!
