Yep, that would have probably done it, and could have run a tipper, a hiab, a block splitter, a winch.... and maybe a drive axle on a trailer.
This whole project is quite a way down the track, but I'm now pretty sure the hydraulic option would be both easier and more versatile for what I'm after than the mechanical PTO set up.
Thanks for everyones input.
If you have not seen, there are a few photos of the drive shaft set up from under a 6X6 in the defender/110/130 section under a heading along the lines of '6X6 5 spd box....something-or-other'.
