Does anyone know if the TB42 had any power steering pump options over the years? I've got an opportunity to get a very nice hydraulic winch but from what I can gather, it sounds like I'll want improved pumping capacity.
I could just try fitting a smaller pulley to increase the flow, but I just thought I'd check whether there was an easy retrofit anyone knew of.
Also, is there an oil cooler inline with the standard setup? If not, I might try squeezing in a trans cooler.
Any tips appreciated. Also any positive/negative comments about the Ox hydraulic winch wouldn't hurt before I buy it.

TB42 power steering pumps
TB42 power steering pumps
This is not legal advice.
The OX will run all day, but slow in std form. Speak to some hydraulic experts for some tech advice on uping the speed. I have some 3ltr pumps and a TD27 pump that uses a remote tank so I guess you could make the tank as big as you need for higher volume to run both power steeer & winch. BUt for speed you may need to speed the pump up with a smaller pulley but I don't how that would effect the power steer if at all. Probably just bleed the excess past it perhaps. Maybe you could mount the extra one for the winch alone? I haven't got to that stage yet but I working on it. I got the pumps with the remote tank to make way for the supercharger. Probably not much help for ya at the moment but i'll see what i can find out

Cool. I'll see how I go... I mean it's not like I plan to be using the winch that often; it's more of an emergency item.
I figure that with a low-revving engine like a TB42 putting a smaller pulley on the pump should be fine. I did the same on my jag which sits on 6500rpm happily and no harm was ever done; and the V12s just use a standard GM pas pump. From the pump's point of view it's exactly as if the motor were just running a few hundred rpm faster (or even a few thousand - either way, it can probably handle this.)
I'll keep you posted too - heck, I haven't even bought the winch yet. Basically I got offered 16 (yes, sixteen - 12 MT and 4 AT) BFG 285/75R16 tyres on GQ wide rims plus bull bar plus brand new 10,000lb ox winch for a... reasonable price.
Guy had some bad luck with hail and doesn't have a GQ any more.
Just gotta find the dosh to take it all off his hands.
