Rare PTO winch?

[wyattharris12]

Right so i have a PTO winch on my 81 hj47 but from all the pictures i have seen it looks different to the other Toyota PTO winches all i know that it was off a 71 (give or take) swb. Here are some pictures if it helps, cheers

Maybe you could find out more googling what's on the winch such as the name THOMAS WINCH ###### 3640 KG and Brisbane

Thomas is a winch company. Non-Toyota, but not inherently rare. I have one in the yard that was on a power wagon. Someone just installed on on your rig. Might even have been a dealer install. unlikely, but possible.

Reading your reply I'm thinking i should of put more info in the post. To clarify it was my grandfathers rig and i inherented it not long ago after he passed. He put the winch on this car from what i believe is 71 short wheel base. i know they arnt rare and non toyota but going off the fact that the only Thomas PTO winches that i could find are these types maybe i haven't looked hard enough maybe I'm blind maybe all of the above .

30 second google search shows me that Thomas PTO winches are still available new. Sized from 8000 to 30,000 lbs capacities. Can't say that I know much about them in spite of having one here (never used, installed or even inspected closely). I have used my Toyota and Braden PTO winches more.

Generally speaking any of the old PTO winches are usually found for almost nothing used. Very very little market for them any more.

That picture you just added is of a Toyota PTO, not a Thomas
