CwazyWabbit Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 PTO is normally engaged via a dog clutch. If you put some pictures up of your winch people here may be able to identify it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikec Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 The husky was sold as hydraulic anyway, I don't have huge amounts of info on it but I presume it used the standard gearing, I did email superwinch for a price on the parts to do my husky, there reply was the cost wouldn't be worthwhile.

tacr2man Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Actually the winch I've got, has no provision for a starting handle, so obviously it's not a rover. I don't know what it is, there is no name on the sucker but there is a number on the casting so I might be able to google it to find out. I like the idea of power take off but I don't know what control there is of the power take off, any ideas. Thanks Norm. The pto is used with the winch by 1st putting transfer into neutral, 2nd engage pto 3rd and then selecting a gear to give you the sort of linespeed you want and setting handthrottle 4th deploy rope round bollard (after attaching other end to object) 5th gently pull on rope untill it grips turning bollard and is pulled in to stop pull release grip so rope slides round bollard . there are further finesse moves as well HTSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normbourne Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 OK fellahs, been doing a lot of thinking and it seems to me that a Hyde. Winch motor need not be that big. In a lot of cases, the wich is powered off the power steering pump, but in my case there is no power steering, hence no pump so i will have to install one and drive it off the PTO. How do do I work out the right size do I get the flow rate of the motor, and then look for a pump with the same flow rate......?? Any ideas..? Thanks Norm.

elbekko Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Depends on the speed you want really. If you're fine with low speed, you can still get a lot of pulling power from a serpentine belt mounted pump. You'll need to match a pump you can find that you can fit to a motor that has the right rotational speed and force that you can fit. Trying to pick both from a list won't be easy I think, so best to search around what people have used. Look up the specs of Milemarkers etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
