SIII PTO's?

[Sprint]

what PTO options were available? i know there were the welder/compresor/V-belt and the shaft to the rear crossmember varieties that mount on the back of the transfer case, but talking to my dad he swears blind he had one mounted to the bottom of the transfer case on his SWB S3

he's still kicking himself for selling it......

[incisor]

yep, they were available, like rockin horse doo to find..

only ever seen one and would dearly love to own one myself.

they were very expensive to buy when new apparently ....

The welder and compressor used a multi-vee pulley on the back of the transfer box and ran the belts through the floor to the item being driven in the back. Well that's how I understand it from the drawings;)
Perhaps that is what your Dad had,

yea, thats the one that bolts onto the back of the transfer case in the same location an overdrive unit fits

the one i'm talking about actually bolts on underneath

incisor, theres a S3 shorty getting around somewhere with one still fitted...... owner probably doesnt even know!

The "bottom" power take off was used when people had something in the mainshaft PTO hole. In S3 this was often the overdrive unit.

Exactly why lots of people want them, or in some cases for vehicles which have modified/replaced gearboxes on standard transfer cases.

:twisted::twisted::D You mean to say, that I can get a grand total of 3 (yes three) PTO's on my S3 Landy?:eek:

I have a Daihatsu five speed truck gearbox with a PTO on the left side of the box.
I don't need an O\D sitting on the back, so I can put another PTO there.
And. I can put another PTO on the "bottom?" of the T\case?:o

Let me see.

Winch, Hydraulic pump, Welder, Bilge pump, Shaft Generator, Rotary hoe, power mower, and a machine that goes WooHoo.:angel:
How much more can these little trucks do?

capstan winches were available that ran off the crankshaft pulley...... so technically 4 PTO's, and remember, the one that goes through to the rear crossmember can also have the belt drive pulley fitted to it as well!

More? One more anyway.:D

She'll need some more horsepower to drive all that of course.:(
I know.
Anybody got a spare Holden V6 supercharger lying around?
I reckon I could bolt one of them to the 2.8 Daihatsu.:twisted:
That should fix it.:angel:
