Cool never heard or seen one before and yes this one was in the Netherlands. Do you know what T -case was used?
I'm not that mechanically inclined but I can read "winch" and see a transfer case mechanism in the diagram. Mind explaining just what we are looking at here, please?

If there is a harder way - I will find it...
This looks like the same lever setup for the parking break on the toyota pickups. I wonder if it could be converted?

Basically its a gear box "E" that bolts to the side of a transmission or transfer case "D" that drives a drive shaft "G" to provide the power for the winch "C".
I would consider this set up extremely rare for an 80 series in the USA.
Hf2a or hf2av

It’s rare transfer case only for Asia and Europe, only with manual gearbox. On jdm or us landcruiser’s it’s not installedUS HF2AV dont have the access plate on the side for the PTO like the picture

So you have to be in gear for it to work?
Yes on the transmission but the tcase can be in neutral.
Thats pretty wack
No, winch help’s for drive forward
Of course
hf1a only so factory part-time 4wd - hf2a's don't have the removable plate where the PTO mechanism can bolt onto.
The tcase can be engaged to drive the wheels and help the winch but also the tcase can be in neutral letting only the winch do the work. I haven’t seen the operating instructions from Toyota but I bet they say to keep the tcase in neutral while winching. I know the instructions for the 40 series winches say that.
PTO is nice if you have to winch for long periods of time, such as winching logs up a hill, moving equipment around, powering a pump, or mild wheeling. For more serious offroad use a PTO is less useful. Electric then becomes superior because u can do short pulls if the motor wont run such as being dead in a water crossing or at some crazy angle and the truck wont run. U can pull yourself 10 or 20 feet to safer ground off the battery alone.
How do you think it would be possible for a PTO driven off the transfer case to work with the transmission in neutral?
