Hi guys , I don't have an 80 , but a 7 series 78 troppie
the reason I would like to mount a 80 mechanical winch is :
I swapped the motor from 1HZ to HD-T
and now I am in the process to change also the gearbox , differentials ecc.
with this gear box, I can mount the original mechanical winch .
the winch is very similar to the 40 series , but with some improvements in my opinion .
in general it is lighter , the brake is inside ,
to action the winch there is a lever more friendly .
most important the sheer pin collar is much bigger , so you can drill a nice 6 mm sheer pin hole .
if needed also a 7 mm .
the front roller is a bit smaller .
same brass /worm gear system.
the PTO , has 10 bolts instead of 6 .
inside the PTO is very similar , but no gear is constantly turning .
to engage the PTO you need to pull a cable under the steering wheel.
in general I would say the PTO system is more simple , lighter and still reliable, so better.
the dimensions of the deum are almost same , but the depth is certainly reduced .
the holding bars are not behind and in from like the 40 series .
there is a special double plate that runs under , and the roller plate in front that holds the winch.
you should be able to understand better from my pictures.
sorry for the poor description.
but we lost the possibility to attach a handle to front of the worm shaft .
I bought it second hand ,it was barely used in 25 years , the steel cable is practically new.
to my surprise the inside had a very dense oil , still in very good condition , I think .....
the density and color was like honey.
BUT ...there was 1 big issue , because it never turned for so many years , and sat inoperative , the oil was sitting on the bottom.
the area above the oil had many areas with RUST .
some hard work in brushing and sanding all rusty parts , and the winch is back in good shape.
other Photos will follow soon , on how this winch is inside .
bye Renago
