Early bird?
Yep thats a early td42 gq for sure , eng number low is it?
And yes PTO winch for gq,s are a rare bird compared to the Toyota ones or after market
power autos or thomas,s that were also fitted to vehicles of that era
To be honest the drive-shafts and winch its self can be made up using those makes listed , but its the PTO itself ,thats the hard bit to find , and in reasonable condition.
Some do come up on trade me New Zealand , but with freight and the fact the bro,s now know there value , its really just to much.
Plus with the cheap, cheap electric winches, readily available seemly everywhere nowadays,
Its more something to fit if you find one cheap and local.
I have had a PTO on FJ45 cruiser and although there pretty well bullet proof , there are not really very user friendly or safe , compared to a remote operated electric one.
I was chasing just the PTO myself awhile back , cause I had some crazy notion of fitting a
air cond comp to one , under the car for pumping up big rubber, but came to my senses!

Even if it only worked a few times
you would still be ahead , and on purchase you would try to waterproof it as much as possible anyway.See what recovery mobs will charge you for one pull off a beach/track?
350 with free shipping , how low can they go?

That's a pretty good deal from kogan - in all respects probably better than a PTO winch, but I suppose I just like the idea of a PTO winch, and it would put a smile on my face every time I see it.
How do I find the for sale section? Clicked on the for sale and auction link at the top of the page but could only get a failed link to eBay.
White Whale: Yep, it sure is an early GQ, built 11/87, TD42 engine number just over 300, still less than 300,000k's too!
