    PTO winch and Aisin A1000 - what are the they worth?

    Moving back from Asia to the States and can’t take my LC with me due to having an engine swap - it’s a 1992 LJ78 with a swapped in 1PZ diesel + turbo. Apparently for US import, engine has to be original. 😩 Am thinking about parting out some of the accessories before selling the car and taking...

    Underfloor / centre mounted PTO winch on LJ78 - Landcruiser II

    No it was fairly easy. They sit with a press fit in the ID on the PTO shaft and I drove them off with a hammer, piece of pipe and some wood as counter. The housing side has a bit of play and the OD of the bearings just slide in, you just need to watch out for it going in square.

    Yep same thinking here. I already have a much bigger mechanical sealed push/pull cable on order. am also thinking about the hydraulic version but have not found a small enough lever yet. I don't want to put a second hand brake lever into the cab.

    Final touches. The plastic throttle cable knob broke off pretty quickly as it was not designed for the pull force needed so I re-purposed a spark plug socket to a make-shift T-handle. T handle lives in the glove compartment and is only put on when needed. Cut and drilled, before tapping...

    Building cable fixing/adjustment bracket. Hollow bored M10x1.25 built sitting in a welded nut with a flat nut that can be adjusted to set right tension on the cable. the bracket bolts into tan existing bracket for the rear brake lines. Boring the M10 bolt so that the cable can go through...

    2nd step building the winch side brackets. I wanted to do this without chopping the original freespool handle (just in case I want to later move the winch to the front) and found that a 1 inch exhaust clamp fits perfect for and can clamp onto the lever knob. 50lb hammock spring as spring...

    FRONT FAIRLEAD Bracket built from 6mm flat bar. Fairlead is a standard one with 10 inch bolt pattern with about 2 inches cut out in the middle. This trimming was needed for the winch rope not to come in contact with the sway bar ends. Took it for a test spin with winch pulls on steep river...

    BUILDING DIRECTION CHANGE BRACKET Did not want to weld onto the frame anymore so decided to build this from 2 1/2" HD brackets, some 6mm flat bar and an M16 lifting eye. Due to the relatively small deflection angle of ~5-10 degrees, the load acting on this bracket will not exceed 450kg-850kg at...

    MOCK-UP INSTALL Winch installed and rope spooled on. Checking rope routing for a good place to place the direction change. Am using an M16 lifting eye for direction change and an aluminum hawse in the front. I will need to shorten the hawse as at full angle on the outside, the rope rubs against...

    WELDING PTO SHAFT Not shown on the photo...: To help centralising the two parts, I slid a 30mm long piece of repurposed scrap tube with 20mm OD into the inside of one half of the shaft and let it stick before pushing the other half on. The shaft was then clamped onto the jig for tacking. After...

    CENTRALISING / TACKING JIG Built a jig from angle iron to keep the two shaft halves centred and allow tacking in three positions, 120 degrees apart. Welded up and ready to go.

    MAKING PTO DRIVE SHAFT So the distance between PTO box and winch is longer than the original than the drive shaft so I need to fab my own. Unfortunately, the local metal store did not have the right tube (OD 25mm, ID 20m) so I ended up building it from two of the original drive shafts; I don't...

    Primed and with seam seller all around. The same sealer started cracking when drying so I had to make multiple passes and letting it dry in-between for a couple of days. Photos show interim pass. I primed first and then seam sealed and the seam sealer actually started dissolving the dried...

    FRONT BRACKET LEFT SIDE CONT'D 10mm plate turned out to be too much for my jig saw and I don`t have a plasma cutter so it was a long process of drilling and contouring with a dremel wheel (angle grinder wheels were too big). FRONT BRACKET TRIMMING Last step was to cut off excess material on...

    FRONT BRACKET RIGHT SIDE CONT'D Welded all around and closed the gap on the rear with a piece of 6mm bar. FRONT BRACKET LEFT SIDE The left side will be attached to the frame - to spread the load over a larger section of the frame, I fab'd a mounting plate from 10mm plate I got from the local...

    MOUNTING SPACERS & FRONT BRACKET BUILD Part 1 2 x MOUNTING SPACERS I may be later increasing the drum side walls to spool longer rope on, so the winch drum cannot sit flush to the cross mounts. for that, I built spacers using 3x 6mm flat bar. Photos shows one welded spacer just before drilling...

    MOUNTING The plan: rear mounts will be on the cross member that holds the upper shock mounts. Front mount will be fab'd from the original 8mm angle iron that came with the winch, attached to the left frame member on the left and on the right hand side welded to new straight piece of tubing...
