FridgeFreezer Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 OK, due to various adventures on eBay I find myself with the following leftovers: - An H14W winch in a rather crusty Defender bumper - A Fairey 525 winch - A complete hydraulic drive setup for it (pump, motor, valves, etc.) but no PTO unit - An LT230 drop-pto for shaft-drive (but no shafts) Now this pile is probably not worth a whole lot (PM me if it is and we can agree a price ) so I have been thinking about putting it to use. The restriction is that I don't have any spare cash to spend on the setup. Sticking an H14W on the back of the 109 would just be overkill, not to mention eat into the loadspace a tad. The 525 would be a PITA to mount as it's designed (it seems) to sit on the front bumper of a defender. So - that leaves me with Dad's '87 Range Rover V8 Auto which is currently winchless. I reckon the H14 would attach to the front reasonably well, which then leaves me with the problem of driving it; Shaft drive would be a PITA, and since father can't be relied upon to check the oil never mind crawl about greasing UJ's it wouldn't last long. Hydro drive would seem a better option - my thoughts are to clock the PTO round so it's pointing over the top of the LT230 and create a bracket to attach the pump to. The alternative is to either crank-drive the pump or swap the PAS pump for something bigger - but I'm not sure that would work out cheaply or easily. Since I've not thought any of this through, does anyone have any ideas/suggestions/observations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Why not fit the PTO to the 109, fit one of the winches to the front of the 109 and simply use shaft drive? Rangie steering U/js will suffice, and I'm sure you can find a suitable bit of bar kicking around the lab for the shafts, so that'll only leave you needing to sort out a centre bearing...........

FridgeFreezer Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 Because I have a hydro PTO, valves, pump, motor and another H14 all waiting to go on the 109 the bits in my post were kinda accumulated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltwt1981 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Fridge you have a pm. From what you say Jon does a series PTO fit to an LT 230 or vice versa? I assumed they were different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Nigel, No - a series and an LT230 PTO are totally different and are not interchangeable. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltwt1981 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 As I thought. What I need then is a PTO for a 90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 Which is what it is - it fits any LT230, as does my other PTO because the 109 has an LT230 Series PTO's are different but also quite cheap on ebay / sodbury, I think I paid £10 for a "straight-out" one last time.

ltwt1981 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Yep, I have a series PTO on the lightweight, runs both front and rear winches. I just thought I may put the winches on the 90 when it arrives. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Nah - you want a nice 8274 on there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltwt1981 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Possibly Jon but I have the PTO winches already. I suppose I could sell the whole shooting match and buy electric should upset Nige. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
