Do like the PTO on the Dodge, wish my GU transfer had PTO take off. Have a Thomas under some iron roofing, as was used on my trusty FJ45 SWB 20yrs ago. Was soooo good.

Congratulations. Grand kids are great fun.Quote:

Also, its a crappy setup in my eyes as there is no speed change via ratio like the Toyota - you are limited to the speed of the engine. I have a PTO driving a hydraulic pump for the hydraulic winch. I am close to purchasing either a 3:1 or 4:1 inline planetary gearbox and running it in reverse to speed the pump up to gain some line speed - just need the time to sort this out after confirming it will fit - adds another 200mm to the drive chain with the additional box between PTO and the pump and needs all sorts of adapters and alignment plates - another nightmare garage job!Quote:

Had a hilux after FJ45 with a warn electric on it so swapped over. Must say, yeah PTO (just pullls)..my preference.Quote:

Use it more at home pulling old pines out of the windbreak for firewood or grubbing things out.
Your project to fit up the hydraulic unit sounds huge.
Do not often go away weekends, did Thurs-Sat found some sole time. Fishing was bit quiet up past Kiandra on the dam. The water levels are so low and troublesome and I don't think it is just Snowy Hydro mgt., Will see...Did a run into the Bidgee River near Kiandra and the track had been recently graded 2wd the whole way.
The existing PTO hyd pump setup was big enough, especially doing the fit up on the garage floor under the truck, but now, its a case of trying to squeeze the additional length in between the cross member and the exhaust, then find room for the over pressure valve - will see if its even possible - might have to stay with the existing line speed at the end of the day.Quote:

Crikey John, very lucky mate!
I’m sure them sticks were nice and rusty too, hard to find a tetanus shot out there in those days would imagine?

Yeah am disappointed, even now, that I cannot drive thru and get to places I went, back thru the 80s. Now there is a gate on this track at Tantangara ck crossing, use to cross and go thru real lovely grasslands to reach the Bidgee where we use to stay in a hut. Too many people and some that just want to rip the place up and then we are locked out. Use to get a fright in these areas if an other vehicle was heard.Quote:
