PTOs

[Landy Smurf]

hello i am just wondering what PTOs have you run and from where, i have a capstan and a drum out the back i just need to change the shaft to fit my 80' as it was used on a stage 1.
Some photos would be great of them in use.
also does anyone know where we could get some parts for these besides ebay?
also also we are missing the shaft that drives the capstan, does anyone know where we could get one?
Thanks Tony :)

I have a PTO if you want it..... no other bits though :(

[Landy Smurf]

what kind of pto is it and how much would you want for it?

When I had the PTO on my series the (brand new) kit I bought was missing shafts and unis. I sourced/had them made by Powauto, Powauto (http://www.powauto.com.au/) .

Hey Tony,

My 2a has a PTO made by Shute Upton Engineering Brisbane, powering a front drum winch which isn't on it any more (the PTO is).

I have been meaning to take it off for ages, refurb the winch and probably sell it all complete. It all turned over, but all of the seals were shot.

Mine is very similar to "series3"'s.... not sure what brand or anything like that. Just make an offer....

I picked up one of the ultra-rare bottom PTO units the other day.... I know, I know - pictures, right? I'll need a bit of computery-camera-type help to do that, and I'll get to it asap.

I've seen plenty of short nose Land Rover units, and a good few Shute-Upton and Thomas units, but, as yet, no long-nose Land Rover units (the ones used to drive welders and compressors by belts). I also only know the whereabouts of one example of the 90 degree adapter for the rear to drive the wide canvas belts (for sawbenches, chaff- cutters, etc).

i cant remember what my grandpa used the drum for i think cutting something in the paddock, i know they have a corn crusher that can be attached to it aswell

As I mentioned earlier I have a (forward) PTO on my S3. I've been thinking about buying a 4wd air compressor (one of those ones 12V ones) but it just occurred to me today that MAYBE I could buy/bodge up an air compressor off the PTO! how sweeeeeet would that be?

Has anyone done this???? can I get picks/designs etc?

OR

Does anyone know where I can get one? I know right, what a silly question!

The idea would be to have it bolted in there so I can disengage it when not in use. Have it plumbed to the back of the car so I can just plug in a hose to pump tyres, air beds.... etc. Could even have an air tank bolted under the car somewhere to make it even more snazzy.

Any ideas would be appreciated

i had an air compressor on my old s3 diesel but i took it off as i didnt need it i can't remember if i put it back in for the guy when i sold it or not

[Landy Smurf]

My Series 1 has the 'long nose' with a triple V-belt pulley driving the generator for the welder and a fan to cool it. It's difficult to see clearly in the picture below.

The original owner made a lever that is down by the front edge of the seat to operate the PTO, saves having to remove the seat & lift the hatch to engage.

Dad had one on his SWB SIII, god alone knows where the shorty ended up though, he sold it ~1988

Last time I saw one was when dad dropped it off at a friends place in Newtown in Hobart ~1996

Gromit,

I remember seeing something about your beast, I was impressed that It was a rolling welder ;) it's sort of where i got the idea from.

I'm assuming that the generator and the fan are bolted to a piece of flat made into a bracket; on the same plane as the output of the pto. What is the bracket bolted to though? Maybe the pto unit itself?

thanks

It's a while since I had to tighten the bolts that hold the generator in place, I remember they were a PITA to get to.
From memory it pivots on a bracket bolted to the PTO/Transfer Box, you can see a bracket bolted to the flange of the motor (with another going to the blower) this allows you to tension the belts.
I'll see if I have some better photos.

thanks for that Grommit! I've love to see how yours is done.

Was poking around looking at photos and found this pic of my PTO! didn't realise i had it.

It apears to be a Thomas T115? does that make sense to anyone out there? is that good/ bad/ indifferent? Where would I find specs on that?

[clubagreenie]

Does anyone have a dimensional drawing of the output flange for the PTO (as above)?

I'm researching some stuff for someone else ATM and I can see if it's a common pattern, if so then adapting to it could be easier than thought. Else an adaptor plate down to a common pump/drive size could be done.
