I HATE YOU.

HONESTLY!!! (not really.. just jealous)

Of all the people on here......GRRRrrr. Its like every single time I want something you flipping get in there first. And then i wanted your damn flex arm and you went and got yourself a safari.

Keep this up Pal and im gonna put your name on a piece of paper and freezer your ass.

I'm going to bug curly.

-edit.

actually. Now that i think about it ive had my share of bargains since buying this truck.

really want your clutch, flex arm and PTO though Dave

LOL, thought I'd rub it in a little.
Better turn out to be the right winch, it's an 8 1/2hr round trip to get it

Farkme, is that Jerry logging in as Sadam and trying to sell other peoples car parts again???

a pto is to small to pull curlys lwb poor things are only rated at 3200kg

Shit, I hope that's not true, I'm well and truly stuffed then. Still on the lookout for a shaft if anyone is in the know Reckon I will have to build one, that will have to wait until next year as I need to buy tyres. I've re-fitted the electric until I can get a shaft sorted. Getting good at fitting an electric winch now, three hours including solenoids under the bonnett and in cab switch.

I have one here you could use as a template if that helps. But will need it back. Waiting to get front bar made then can resess pto.

When i get one I can make you whatever shaft you want using mine as a pattern. I'll find some scrap 4140 steel shaft at work or similar. As long as you dont need me to machine universals and stuff. lol

Alternatively I could take measurements and send you mine. From what ive read half the shear pin issues are from wear of the shaft and i'd like to fix that (or will just weld up and re machine it)

That would be great. Can you PM me your contact details and I will call over weekend. I can pick up , take into shop for the boys to get started on.

How much are you wanting to pay?

As little as possible, obviously

TBH i have very little idea as to what they are worth. Cheeky bugger up there got one for 500$

Find out tomorrow if it's the right one or not. Paid $900 and $800 for the last 2 I've owned

wow man. im sure ive seen them go on tm for half that.

The last 3 or 4 I've sold have been for over $1k. Thats a complete strip down and refurb as necessary.

Wow I completely under budgeted.

I've only ever seen the MQ winches go for the $4-500 mark. The last GQ unit I saw was a rebuilt one, $500 for winch only
A good way to get your hands on one is to keep a look out for ones on vehicles that have no winch rope, or are obviously not used and make the owner an offer

Agree. I sent 3 complete MQ winches over to a dude in the States, and they were all in the $450-$500 region.

You can buy them for less than what I've sold them for...but you just have to take a punt on the wear and condition of them.

Yip, I might be driving for 8hrs to find it's not even the right one!

Flyingbrick were did you get that info from, I was told they are rated for 16,000 pounds which is 8 ton, Thats if 2,000 is 1 ton is right?

From another thread here on ore. no idea whats actually correct.

I wonder what the rating is? Because I just heard by word of mouth anyone know?

its in my patrol hand book

Is that not lifting capacity? Haven't seen an electric winch that small on a Safari, they were specced with 8000lb Warn winches as a factory option

What manual is that? My gregory's one does not even mention the winches that i can see.

a nissan patrol hand book that can with the truck
