Mechanical winch shaft 1979 (info & pictures) (1 Viewer)

[Economist LC76]

Spent some time for my winch shaft (bj43 1979). Easy start of the shaft restoration.
Decided to post some condensed info, might be useful for the new comers.

NOS spider

The bearing body dimensions

Repair manuals on the shaft (from the old book)

Are the spider gears and pillow block bearings still available from Toyota? I have either a 1/79-7/80 or a 8/80-9/82 drive shaft plus the 10/82+ style with another pillow block bearing.

I haven’t checked the later version (27,5 mm shaft, large spiders). For my version the bearings are available (25x52x15), the rest is out of production. The old small spiders I was lucky to buy as New Old Stock.

PS my next challenge is to find the solution for the seals (30x38x6 and 34x54x8) and the large retainer (36x55x7,5). Some owners replace the felt seal + retainer by the rubber seal. I think this is not great. I might do the felt seals by myself and the retainer will do out of the old seal body. Will see

One of the options to restore the shaft. Replace the felt washers by the seals

@Economist LC76 Very nice work, thanks for sharing. I am currently doing my PTO winch and I wondered if you knew the sizes of the O-rings on the input and idler gear shafts (20 mm diameter on mine) and of the O-ring in the case which seals against the shift fork shaft (13 mm)?

Thanks

Matt,
Thanks for reminding me about this PTO thread. Re-reading it, there is a fantastic level of documentation far beyond what the manufacturer ever provided. My hat is off to Storno for a job very well done !

Thanks @ToyotaMatt . Does that avatar have any bearing on my Mud moniker, or is it intended for an old-timer to keep the wheels spinning?!

Such a clever boy !

- I have had this you tube TECH. Video below saved on my desk-top hard drive for well over 6-ish years ,

- i last time i watched it was the same day i saved it there 6-ish years ago too ...

. it's the first one i ever bumped into online and viewed on the edge of my seat literally too back then !

- A lot has happened in the last 15 years ALL things Land Cruiser PTO related topics , OEM Factory Build Sheet Option & aftermarket Ramsey Brand type / style Mechanical winches too and beyond .....

- perhaps a 2024 update this " ALL things Land Cruiser PTO " & " Mechanical winch shaft 1979 ( info & pictures ) tech. thread might be nice ....
