I've posted this in the '60/62 wagon forum too but it may get more readership and replies here.
I got a factory PTO winch from an HJ61 and I am installing it on my BJ60.
There are captive nuts and holes for the forward pillow block but NO HOLES
OR CAPTIVE NUTS for the rear pillow block. I KNOW I've got it in the right
holes at the front because everything else lines up. Did the BJ60 PTO winch
driveline have only one pillow block? It looks like it would work if the
shaft was straight without a "U" joint and the first pillow block after the
gearbox was eliminated, but I don't know if it places undue strain on the
remainder of the driveline. I could use the other pillow block and support
on the FJ55/3B restoration if it's not needed here (I'm missing a pillow block support and the pillow block is rather rusty).
Any comments from those who are lucky enough to have these as an option?
FWIW the Toyota manual diagram shows it with only one pillow block but I
don't know if that's a BJ/HJ/FJ40, 60 or 70.
Next question is the part number for the shear pin for these PTO winches?
