GQ Hydraulic PTO

[rlaxton]

Hi,

Does anyone know any workshops that have mated hydraulic pumps up to the GQ Patrol PTO? Thanks in advance for any information.

Also I have a thread in the main tech section enquiring about the gear ratio of the PTO.

As far as i know, no-one makes a PTO with a flange type output for the Patrol. All the types i've seen have been mechanical--ie designed to attach to a driveshaft. Interested to know if you find one though.

Have you spoken to the people at Superwinch about it?? There are a few GQ's in NZ running Superwinch hydraulic winches off the PTO, so they should be able to help on the gear ratio.

Alternatively......give me a description on how to measure gear ratio.....and I'll go measure the one sitting on the bench

Cheers

I have just been speaking to a company in Dandenong that has stock of both Nissan and Powauto PTOs, both new and used. They say that what they do is reverse the PTO so that the keyed shaft points backwards then use a driveshaft to carry power from the PTO to an hydraulic pump mounted on the chassis rail.

They also tell me that the PTO is actually geared up slightly and that you can take about 12hp from it.

Does anyone know the name of the company that does this?

we built one at christie engineering, we used part of the original shaft and spun the pto backwards and mounted the pump to a plate we picked up bolts somewhere on the transfer to mount it to.
this was to power a drill rig that went to png not a winch, so our pump was pretty big.
can look up specs if you want
