Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I know engine mounted hydraulic pumps have been covered extensivly but has anyone mounted a hydraulic pump on a GQ patrol via the pto drive. Would love to know if you can do it and what parts fit. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have all control gear and winch ready to go in.



Thanks

Kym bolton had one. I belive you end up with no drive to the wheels when winching which is not ideal, (for a Patrol that is). get onto the NZ 4x4 forum and they maybe able to answer all your questions.

If you look at the runva winch thread, there is a guy - thrashlux - from memory who has a good setup running off a PTO - on a hilux though

You can winch and drive with a Nissan PTO. The Kiwis are big fans. Alan Mai's old Red shorty Winch car had a Hydraulic PTO set-up. Worked very well. Wasn't overly fast. But never slowed down. While the Himounts where clicking away. He was still going forwards.
Kym Bolton also had one at some stage. But then the Gigglepin twin motor things turned up.

Nissan GQ's with a PTO can winch and drive with the PTO gears engaged (no mater the direction).
Where the problem lies. Is every time you touch the clutch. It stops the winch and wheels. Also matching the winch speed and wheel speed can be difficult. I don't think this would be so much of a problem with a hydraulic winch.

There has been some good threads on Nissan PTO setups over the years. Just cant remember the username. Think it was Rlaxton or similar. He had heaps of details.
