Blanco Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Just throwing this one out there for some ideas..... it isn't a priority at the moment but it is on the cards eventually. D2's are generally not fitted with PTO's of any sort because of the floor pan shape just around the transfer box prevents it, but as I get older I prefer to run round in the D2 and it would be a big bonus if I had a hydraulic PTO on it, I could do a lot of the trailering winching and lifting that currently involves the 110. So I know I need to do a job on the floor pan, has anyone scrapped a D2 and carved up that area of the floor??, I think its double skinned at that point, any one know what's likely to get in my way. I can live with remodelling the interior floor a bit. Now it's getting on a bit I don't mind playing with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 You could crank-drive rather than PTO-hole drive, depending on what you want to run you could get away with a polyvee belt, or chains work well, or a mini prop connected to the crank pulley have all been done.

Blanco Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 I have seen crank drive on the comp motors, ... and its an option, but I am not quite sure how it sits with the damped pulley (guessing not at all?) and I just think re-working the floor, ...if that's all it is.... would be easier? Also when I look down the front of the Td5, I don't see a whole lot of room. I am not willing to can the air-con either so?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill van snorkle Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Some later LT230's don't have the PTO splines cut on the input gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashtrans Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Some later LT230's don't have the PTO splines cut on the input gear. you are right, none of the D2's had PTO drive teeth but we sell a gear that does for £ 65, FTC4850 Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thank you both - that's good to know !! I nearly bought a D2 transfer box for mine a while back - glad it fell through as I had no idea my PTO wouldn't have fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanco Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thank you both - that's good to know !! I second that.... I'll have to visit a scrap yard I think (next time I am back in Blighty) to get to the bottom of how the underside is made up and might be altered.

landrovermanuk Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I remember visiting Frogs Island about 10 or 11 years ago and they were fitting a few for a large company... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanco Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 The Frogs Island tip is welcome thankyou, might make a phone call in the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluespanner Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I seem to recall in an old LRO somebody had put a proper PTO on one, to drive a mower or baler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
