This new to me 1977 FJ45 has a PTO and PTO driveshaft to the front, but no winch. Judging by the shifter mount, I doubt that the FJ originally came with a PTO winch - I could be wrong though. The shifter pivots forwards and backwards on a mount fastened to the top of the tunnel. The PTO driveshaft is one long shaft, with a U joint at the front. The underside and various parts look a little crusty, and someone sprayed the underside and various nooks and crannies with a yellow foam. Hopefully all that will look better sometime during the next few years - it's a long term project I expect.
Can anyone tell me more about these parts and the installation? Do the PTO unit, shifter, and driveshaft parts look incorrect for the year, as I suspect? If not correct, any idea on what they may have come from? And what kind of winch (brand, model, etc) should I be looking for to go with this setup?
