under middle seat in the cab.
attachment into transfer box from underneath.
As winchs go they are indestructible but as said cant have winch and overdrive unless you have a bottom mount pto!
They are also very very slow and cumbersome.
But mine has helped me out twice whilst laning and my mate once as he got seriously stuck, again laning and there was no way you could get to him without a four wheel drive and a winch.
i would have the winch any day over an overdrive and fit 3.54 diffs from an early disco.
Winchs really rare, thought currently two complete set ups on ebay!, overdrives bit of a gamble buying a secondhand unit.
Probably be a better deal for you if you bought two second hand 3.54 diffs and a pto blanking rear plate all three for approx 90 quid and try and sell the winch, one on e bay last week went for 325 pounds.
You will have to offer a pallet courier though to get the best price, google shiply which i think is tied to ebay.
I got my winch shipped down from brummy.

where are you?hi nrgserv, how much woukld you want for the capstan winch, think it would look quite smart on the front of my series
cheers
where are you?
i paid 75 quid for it years ago, and like i said a few posts ago, it will need the engage/disengage lever looking at.
would also need to find the original dog for the crank.
and i would need to remove it from its current home....
do we have a price on the mayflower yet, or is it now not for sale?
time limits no problem, its been sat on the motor its attached to for the last 2 years in the corner of the workshop and aint moved.i'd rather have the capstan for my series, i havent got a pto, while i can get one id rather have something that will fit as it is and ive just got a massive ramsey winch to go in the back, so just need a small one for the front, i cant realy make an offer just yet, but its not going anywhere right now is it? if not then in a month or 2 i would be more inclined to put some money forward....
im in north somerset btw
