Overdrive and PTO winch. Can it be done?

Canada Al:
Better then the V8 I think and an extra 40 Bhp. :wink:

Back to the original question, yes it is technically possible but not the way everybody is thinking. There was I'm fairly sure a PTO available that mounted under the transfer box, this would then allow an overdrive in the normal place. Having said that you probably stand more chance of finding rocking horse droppings.

I think all except late S2a's had Rover axles except some that had the ENV (?) units. Though it isn't hard to retrofit a salisbury, my '62 SIIa has one. as for Rover ratios, yes there is a 4.2 that comes from the P4 range of cars. I've not come across the 3.9.

Some IIas had the salisbury as it was a standard fit on 109 suffix H machines. The ENV was an optional rear axle, but not a common fitment.
You could use an overdrive with a bottom PTO to drive the winch...

Just looked at the vehicle you bought - it says 69 but front panel and wings would put it at about 1962/3, and would say a rover axle - if it *is* 1969 (with a retrofit front) it might have a salisbury back axle.

Ref the Diffs, if it's got Sailsbury then you can fit the higher ratio 3.56 diffs from a stage 1 to it.

I have Stage one axles fitted to my IIa which was also Jag powered until very recently. I fitted the whole axle, just the rear spring pads needed relocating.

I don't know what the availability of stage 1 bits out in oz is so this may shoot the idea down... bit big for personal luggage!

Ref the winch can't you fit one like the capstain winches? where the pto is from the front pulley rather than the transfer box.
