Yes, and for equipment which is permanently mounted on the vehicle, that would make perfect sense. However, I don't want to have to carry the log splitter or the post driver (or even the winch) around all the time, and the quick connect hoses mean I can swap the equipment over to use it on my tractor when I want to. Nick.

Hi Bob! If you ever decide you don't want it any more, can I be first in the queue to buy it off you? More seriously, I'm intending to put the LT230 hydraulic PTO I have had in my shed for the last four years onto my 90 as part of the current major re-build. I'd really appreciate any tips and ideas (as well as any pictures) based on your experience with the hydraulic PTO. Working out where the plumbing and the tank etc. are going to go is becoming a bit of a headache! 30+ l/min sounds like a lot for a winch. Is the PTO actually one supplied for the winch, or is this something you've assembled as a kit for yourself? I've got a series hydraulic winch which I intend to adapt to go on the 90, but I'm mainly interested in having the hydraulic supply to power agricultural gear such as a log splitter or a post driver. Nick.

I'm in the early stages of a chassis rebuild on my 90. I'm taking a 1990 19J vehicle and putting a galv chassis with a 300tdi engine and R380 gearbox on it. I've obtained a 300tdi engine and I'm trying to decide what I should do to it before putting it into the vehicle. Changing the cam belt is one obvious item, and I'm wondering if a new clutch plate is also desirable. The one that's on it is 8mm thick side to side. Does that sound very worn? Does anyone have a new one they can measure for me? The current part is stamped 'Valeo'. While the clutch plate is not itself very expensive in the overall scheme of things, this project is already turning into a fairly serious money pit and there are better uses for the money if a new plate is not required. Thanks Nick.
