PTO drive shaft, 60s vs 70s

[Oldtoy74]

Hi fellow mudders, I have found a pto set up out of a JDM hj 61, that am looking to purchase to shed-bank and fit to Oldtoy down the track, is there any difference in the drive shaft lengths bewteen 60s vs 70s, I thought there would be, but not sure ?? Any thoughts ??

yeah the 60 series shaft is longer I had one and swapped it for a 70 series shaft, I was told there are different length 70 series shafts for different engine/trans combos but dunno if that is correct or not, the 70 shaft I used fitted my application but I've got an engine transplant and my winch is mounted in an ARB bar. From memory the 60 series shaft was 5 or 6 inches longer?

Right then, three months later and I have your measurements! Better late than never though.

1. Distance between end of factory angle-iron brace and winch - left side when looking from the front of the winch/vehicle [therefore driver's side].
2. Distance between winch and mounting hole in factory angle-iron brace - left side when looking from the front of the winch/vehicle [therefore driver's side].
3. Distance between end of factory angle-iron brace and winch - right side when looking from the front of the winch/vehicle [therefore passenger's side].
4. Distance between winch and mounting hole in factory angle-iron brace - right side when looking from the front of the winch/vehicle [therefore passenger's side].

1. The entire assy.

I laid out the entire assy. in a straight line and came up with the following measurements.

1. Splined end to Joint 1.
2. Centre of Joint 1 to Joint 2.
3. Splined end to Joint 3.

Turns out under the strain of exhaustion I made a bit of an error. But I've rectified it now in post #5. So you may have to do some maths.

You have supplied more than enough for me to get the basic math anyway, all good, cheers
