Pto Winch

[primer7]

Rebuilt my PTO winch on my 69', can't find any info on what oil to use or how much for that matter.

Nice job!

Here are a couple of pics of the plugs. The top one is where you put the oil in and the one below the center of the drum is the one that tells you when its full.
I used gear oil in ours.

Hi Fallon,

Nice job on the winch. Had one on the 1980 for years and used quite a bit for various jobs Works well for pulling submersible pumps.

I think the FSM calls for 90 weight. It is a pretty non critical application so any oil will probably do. The worm gear set probably creates a bit of high pressure at the teeth mesh so an EP would work best. Most winches are just for show or the just in case moment. If you intend on using it hard the 90 weight with an EP ( extreme pressure) rating will work just fine. Fill it till it comes out of the side plug.

Thanks jb

Hello,
Great photo of your overholded PTO Winch. The silver painted drum is first rate.
Have you found what wt. oil to use in your refill?
I have a FJ40 from 1970 on my Toyota stock FJ40 1970 Land Cruiser. I hope to put
my very basic frist level mech. skills toward rebuilding my PTO stock winch.
Any problems with your project or ideas for my task!.
Thank you - from Michael Archangel

nice job, i hope i can do that on my RHD 1970 PTO...

Nice, hope to do a rebuild on mine someday. Did you find the gaskets online or make your own?

P.T.O. oil

90 wt.
Toyota made it simple. if it has gears, it takes 90 weight.
oh, and fill it to the fill plug

Real easy to rebuild, had to order the seals from Cruiser Dan, one of the seals took a month or so to come in from Japan. I'm a little A.D.D. so I took lots of photos of the tear down. Don't lose those frame shims. Used 90 weight gear oil. installed 150" of Warn 3/16" steel cable. Order more then one shear pin as well.

It looks beautiful!

How did you attach the cable to the winch spool? Do you know if its the same procedure as with a Nylon rope?

 

[charliemeyer007]

Nylon rope? Synthetic Winch Rope attaches the same way I think as wire rope

Believe synthetic rope does not work well with a roller fairhead if have a PTO winch.

 

[charliemeyer007]

That's what I thought, but they sell them together now. Coffee good for you, coffee bad for you Who paid for the study?

I don't think it matters.

Dyneema gets used in all sorts of sailing applications getting pulled through blocks at ridiculous loads.

I wouldn't sweat it.

The ease of a hawse fairlead simplifies things though

My thought was because synthetic is so much softer it could get punched in the end of a roller easier than steel cable.my living in the dry southwest the life of synthetic is short compared to a steel cable. Bought first PTO winch forty three years ago. And still trust it use. Not uncommon to see car haulers loaded with old vehicles heading east. Sure they use their interiors in vehicle. Our interiors get trashed while back east exterior are rusted out.

Thank you for correcting me, that's what I meant.

Do you have photos? I really have no idea, NONE, as to how to it attaches. I see there's a hole on the spool.
