stevebus Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I'm looking for a workshop book or maybe a pdf file on a pto that fits an lt230 the easiest way if nobody minds me adding a file from another forum is to read that and if anyone has any info would be appreciated, ive spoke to a fella called Rob at LROE and he's going to get back to me but hasn't as yet and I suppose impatience has got the better of me as it would be nice to get at it this weekend, all the best guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 The drop PTO or the rear-facing hydraulic PTO? Pretty sure I've got a manual for one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebus Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 A drop one fella, forward facing, would be great if you have, let me know, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebus Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 I've managed to find a file from superwinch with part numbers, drawings and how to use it but @FridgeFreezer nothing to do with dismantling it, I can't imagine it's going to be rocket science but it's always nice to have something to look at with torque settings and suchlike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebus Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 Thanks Mike, don't bust a gut over it but if you do come across it that would be handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebus Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 Thank you fella, unfortunately thats the one I have, there's some good information on there but at the risk appearing ungrateful not the strip down bit I'm after, thanks for your effort mate, especially on a Sunday, all the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I seem to remember @darthdicky had one and rebuilt it / clocked it round, there may be a thread on it somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Is that the same as @Daan modified for use in his hybrid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 8 minutes ago, Bowie69 said: Is that the same as @Daan modified for use in his hybrid? Indeed. I reckon there is a manual somewhere deep down in my 'archive' but it is a simple nut and bolt job, and assembly is the reverse of disassembly as the haynes manual says. You won't get parts for it of Superwinch (I think they are no more), but all the bearings, seals, chains and sprockets are Generic standard parts that can be obtained through the usual suppliers.

stevebus Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Thank you @Daan that's handy to know, I didn't think it could be to complicated just airing on the side of caution really, it's nice to know nothings going to fly out at me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthdicky Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Just had a look round my old files and things and can't find anything for the PTO, however I do still have a broken one sat in the garage. From memory the bolt in the red cover only holds the cover on (don't overtighten it as it'll crack the cover!) which then lets you see the overload clutch. This can be loosened by undoing a grub screw and turning the outer ring - however make sure you make a note of how tight/how many turns it takes to undo, as that sets when the clutch cuts in. It's quite a simple system when you take it apart - based on some flexible plates and ball bearings - but if it's set too loose it'll just click at any sign of load and if it's too tight it might break the chain/cable rather than cutting out at the right amount. If it's been set correctly and works fine I would be tempted to leave it be. Or buy the remains of mine and take that apart to see how it works 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthdicky Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Found some old photos actually. Tip 1: Don't hit tree stumps with the bottom of the PTO Tip 2: Don't overtighten the overload clutch as the chain can snap, and then you can't take the load off the winch Tip 3: Electric winches are far simpler for self recovery!

darthdicky Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Shows how much it hung under the chassis by - not much but enough to catch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthdicky Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Dave at Southdown made me up this guard nearly 20 years ago now. The guard lives on but the winch has gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthdicky Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Even found some photos of the clutch mechanism 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthdicky Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Although looking at those photos now, I would question whether the 3 plates were in there the right way around for it to work, which might explain why I had problems with it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 That's good to see, also made me realise why Daan thought the single chain was not up to much, and stuck a double in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 ISTR Dirtydiesel reckoning you could tweak the overload clutch up to get a reliable 20k pull from an H14, also can you clock the PTO round by re-drilling a couple of bolt holes and thus raising it up out of harm's way?

miketomcat Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 You need to reroute the exhaust if you clock the PTO box. I wound mine up tight but I'm careful on what I pull. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Thanks for the info aswell fella, albeit the old 110 it's going on is basically a yard wheelbarrow and I should consider myself lucky it has a steering wheel let alone an exhaust, but noted thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
