Jimmymad99 Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 @FridgeFreezer did you up grade to seal winches or did u build the non low line your self Was thinking of making new drum and end plate with chain 1:1 drive for the type r winches for more drum capacity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never knew them all to start with, it was designed by one of the Finns (Mikko) and Jez. All I know is it was beautifully made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 From what I remember, the rear was a standard Milemarker H12. The front had a bigger drum, bigger motor and a button labeled 'turbo'. We never got to the bottom of it, but I know it controlled a valve close to the winch motor. My best guess would be the motor was a parallel type (like many gear pumps) and the valve allowed one section to be isolated to increase speed (at the cost of torque). The pump was crank driven, much as on you Defender @Jimmymad99. It did feature a mechanical clutch. I briefly entertained the idea to fit something like this on the Range Rover V8, but there's not much room. And it would involve a lot more fabrication and trial and error, so I've just ordered a magnetic clutchdrive for the serpentine belt. We know that works and it's fast enough for what I want. Better to spend the time improving what we know instead of trying to come up with something new. That didn't work out at all for the winch on the Defender in 2009... We had done most of the testing with a magnetic clutch and a V-belt, but that kept slipping under water. So we changed to a chain, found out the clutch didn't want to play with the chain wheel and last mintue fabbed a mechanical clutch. Without an emergency back-up, so when the locking mechanisme broke while winching an UAZ out of a river, we were without a winch for the rest of the tour. 😞 Filip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escape Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Still gonna try and finish the Range. Got some more goodies this week, including a new hydraulic pump with clutch. Fingers crossed! Filip 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmymad99 Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) Thats would be amazing if you could all come along I think my post man will hate me soon lol 😆 @Escape what pump did you go for in the end Edited December 22, 2020 by Jimmymad99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 A 14cc gear pump mounted on an electromagnetic clutch, rated to 5000rpm so should be fine when driven by the serpentine belt of the V8. I just hope the bigger pump doesn't cause slippage under low revs/high load conditions. Luckily pumps are cheap and easy to swap as long as you stay in the same group.

I ran my 26cc on off the aux belt in td5 yiu make a back plate with 2 rollers close together so the belt is wrapped all the way around the pulley to maximise the contact pick up it didn't slip at all even when wet only moved it to crank as was bit to geared up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Good idea about the rollers! It's wrapped 3/4 around anyway on the V8, so should work. Wish I had thought about using extra rollers on the TD5 instead of going to a chain drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger110 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 My nightime reading has served me well then although reading back he did say he was doing it in the previous post Is there an issue with that much weld in one area on the casing with the heat from the weld? It looks a pretty strong area to start with, not alot can move i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I don't think so, other than the whole casing being heated first normally. I think a lot of that is down to helping the difficulties of welding cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
