Thread: County PTO winch install+ home made bar.

Best car I have ever owned.. 504 mechanical injection Peugeot closely followed by a 505 carby. Had the 504 in the family for 20 years, the 404 for 25, and the 505 for 15... still got the 405 Mi16, and two 406's one turbo diesel and the other a petrol auto... still wish i had bought the 205 GTi

You are unfortunately losing one major benefit with using reverse & that is you wont be able to drive forward at the same time when using the winch & that can really help sometimes.Thinking about it, my winch was the same. Personally I'd sling the rollers under the bullbar and - so what if you have to dig to get to the cable sometimes- its a much better place to winch from as it tends to pull up & get the vehicle out, rather than keep pulling you along in the soft stuff.

It's all sorted, Thanks to 'THE 109' we will be swapping him for a top wind winch
But i didn't know you could drive assist with a PTO?
i thought you had to have the transfer case in neutral?
Please explain

CHEERS TIM.

Yeah the older ones are great cars!!
I reckon as you mensioned the best Peugeot would have to be the 504 mechanical injection, they go hard and are still reliable, we have a 1990 peugeot 505 electronic injection and it has a few reliablility isues

Yep too true. over 700,000kms on the motor in the 504 The 505 I dont think was ever that good of a car And the 405 Mi16... well thats just a bit of fun!

sorry for the highjack Tim...but adding to the Pug debate....

I've had a few 504's with one very special car that I built for the 1995 Mobil One Trail, but my 505 turbo diesel was the best car I ever owned! Wish now I have never parted with it.

ps...my old man has a 1973 504 auto with 59,000 genuine miles on the clock....you could eat your dinner off the mudflaps...it is that clean and neat!

I keep telling him that it would be a perfect car for the Endeavour rally.

He won't let me near it!

Cheers
Andrew

yes you have the option of keeping the transfer engaged, i have done this on PTO's that have clutch overrides fitted instead of shear pins, even if there is no traction its reduces the load on the clutch over ride thingy

the only thing to be carefull of when winching and driving together is shock loading the cable i.e. if you gain traction and the rope goes slack but you than loose traction and slide back you will shock load the rope

i think that makes sense......

i think we need a peugeot thread......................i keep seeing new posts about the PTO, get excited but only get to read 505 this 504 that
