PTO winch breather

[KIWI]

The breather on my pto winch (GQ) is quite rusty, and looks like it could do with a replacement.
Any idea if there is something better to fit, or is the factory set up the best?

I must get onto getting thos pic's for you!!

I bought a brass fitting, screwed it in, slipped a hose over the end and ran the hose through the grille and up to the fire wall were the front diff breather comes out.
I kept getting water in through the standard breather when crossing rivers.

Thanks, was looking at doing exactly that, so was hoping someone had tried it first.

Bit worried about the "location" you are showing.
Guess those north island girls look like Helen Clark, so I'd prefer the sheep too

Yep.

I have never met an Ozzy who hasn't dragged out a sheep joke a some stage

Pull the end cap off the winch drum and rotate it 180 degrees untill the filler cap/level plug is at the top. Fill to that level with oil.

Apparently, from GQTROL, who uses the PTO in the winch challenge's, you run a straight non hypoid 90w oil and morreys heavy duty oil stabiliser.

Non Hypoid, as the suplher aditive in the Hypoid dissagrees with the brass gears.

Standard gear oils are Hypoid.

It will do the job though, untill you track somedown non- hypoid down.
I haven't managed to yet.
