Was over at Clarkie's today and he gave me this old POS winch. Reckons it's off a series. I'm unsure.......anyone seen one like this before?

Looks like it's pto driven but there aren't any shafts etc to hook it up to the box......and the mounting plate looks home made.

On the plate it has "Donald Don & Son" Bit hard to see it though.....carp photo.

Gday Mick,

I had a very similar one on an old TK bedford banana back years ago.

It uns a chain off the sprocket (up against the jack in your pick) down the front of the tray to the PTO box which in my case had a dog clutch on it which was a PITA.

It was very slow but you couldnt stop it with any load.

I dont know how you would drive it on a LR, maybe remove the sprocket and manufacture a hydraulic or electric drive.

That is a home (or backyard production) winch using a fabricated base and drum, a pair of plummer blocks and a commercial worm drive. Bit of a question how it was driven, probably by a set of shafts off a PTO, but perhaps off a separate electric motor via a chain. It could have been on a Series, but could also have been on just about anything else, or not on a vehicle at all, although the lack of corrosion points against the most common use of this sort of winch - on a small slipway.
