    County PTO winch install+ home made bar.

    A while ago we bought a rangie pto winch with everything included to fit to the county.
    So far a few problems have showed there head, the main one is the position of the PTO transfer drive unit, if we decide to go with the rangie PTO drive it will require cutting of passenger side footwell to allow room for the shafts
    So at this stage where not shore if we should track down a county drive unit or start cutting
    The chassis also needed to be moded to fit the winch cradle properly.
    We cut about 2-3''s off the cradle to improve the approach angle, and also had the make a new roller for the fairlead, not much done yet but over the next couple of weeks the bar should start to form
    Some pics....









    And with the winch bolted in..







    We are happy with the approach angle and have been thinking about extending the chassis to allow more area to bolt to
    Should get most the crush tubes welded in next week.

    I cut my floorboards- and a bit of the seatbox for exactly the same setup. All you need is a 150mm square piece of sheet lead & some sealastic. I,ve also read that you can drill the housing to angle it correctly.
    Looks good

    Thanks Deejay
    Would it be possible to get some pics?
    Don't worry if you have to rip the carpet up or something

    Hi Tim,
    Why dont you try to get hold of one of the chain driven pto's that bolt onto the bottom of the t/case (presuming you have an LT95). No cutting involved. This is the type that the Perentis have. They are not cheap but very good and have an inbuilt clutch mechanism so you cant overload/break the winch. ALSO, in one of those photos I see you have a couple of salisbury rear diffs in the backgroung. I am looking for a rear county salisbury casing. Dont really need any of the other bits that bolt onto it , just the casing and bearing caps. As long as it is straight and not leaking around the axle tubes. Are you interested in selling 1. Thanks....Brian

    Hi Bearman
    Any chance you know where to get a chain driven PTO?
    If we could get hold of one for a good price it would save a lot of hassle
    pm sent in reguards to the diff housing..

    Landie is in bits now, I re used the seatbox in my project Landie, so it was'nt hacked about much. From memory I cut the floorboard with a thin angle grinder blade and fanned it upwards, so it basically could be hammered back if needed.

    Finally an update

    Well it's been a while, got abit done to it this weekend so hopfully this week the cradle should be properly mounted
    We had to modify the chassis a bit to allow for extra bolting surface so that took a bit of stuffing around and still havn't finished it
    Anyway, here's a crappy pic that doesn't show much



    The red parts are the bits of 3x3 inch box section with 6-7mm wall thickness which we are using to extend the chassis to make way for more bolting surface.



    They are only tacked to the chassis for now but will be welded properly once everything is right
    The good thing about using box section this thick is that there is no need for crush tubes

    Got afew bolts in (12mm 8.8)



    CHEERS TIM.

    Good thinking .
    Looking at the original set up- again, you could have bent the whole lot sideways with a half decent angle & load on the cable.
