Thread: Can anyone id this winch?

the winch drum looks like its off a thomas pto like on mine,the rest looks like it was home made ,probly some sort of stationry winch...

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.
