Pto winch

[Bigdog]

Does this look complete as I am thinking about installing a pto winch

[Bigdog]

Would it be period correct to fit to a series 2a 109, and am I correct in saying if it is fitted I can't have overdrive as well

[GHOBHW]

yes if fitted you cannot have an overdrive too.

if you want a winch and an overdrive, a capstan is the way to go, as they're ran by the engine crank.

[Bigdog]

So what do I need to fit capstan winch, what parts would be needed etc

[Alan Drover]

Apart from the winch you need a drive dog to replace the bottom engine pulley nut.

[Bigdog]

So would this be the easier option to fit then I would still have the option if I wanted to fit overdrive at a later date

[Alan Drover]

Yes. Forgot to mention a hand throttle would be useful with a capstan winch. You might be lucky to find a winch with the drive dog.

[GHOBHW]

they're pretty simple to fit, but if buying one make sure it has all the drive gear with it, as thats usually more expensive than the winch, at least for the earlier aeroparts winches

the fairey winches are usually cheaper and parts are a lot cheaper too.

my favourite winch is the GLR101 capstan. those are a bit harder to get these days though, once again the drive bits are the killer

Looks mostly there. The nut is for the crankshaft is there and the drive shaft.

I also don't see anything obvious missing, the fairey capstans have the least parts required of all winches, they're very simple

oh and remember, there is a manual for the fairey capstan on the club technical library

What is the going price for one nowadays just so,I have an idea, maybe someone on here might be selling one

I just saw an aeroparts one on ebay sell for £640, this had zero fittings, just the winch and baseplate. these are the rarer ones though, or more sought after.

looking at sold listings on ebay, fairey winches seem to be going for £650 plus, with fittings

[Bigdog]

I could get the fairey winch as per my post picture for around £300
