PTO Winch with Slipper Clutch
 

Couple years ago I fabbed up a Delrin PTO winch with TLT gears. It was driven off of a seperate MRC trans, so I caught some flak for it.

Fast forward two years.

My Jeepster build has been on my bench for a year and is about 80% right now.
Rig weighs approx 9lbs in current state.

Applying about another 15+lbs of downforce (thumb on stinger) causes the slipper to kick in.

This is part of my current Jeepster build, but not sure how much it was seen there.

Pretty cool stuff...

I've often stared at the unused front outdrive on my 1/6th Jeep's Axial transmission (the back outdrive powers the transfer case) and thought about what it would take to turn it into a useable PTO.

You're disconnecting it with some sort of dig-style arrangement?

Thanks Mike!
I added the video that shows the three positions and linkage on the trans.
Just hope the gears hold up!

this is really cool man, good work,,

Re: PTO Winch with Slipper Clutch
 

Very cool arrangement.
I've been pondering over a PTO winch design for a few years. ;)

Thanks for all the comments!!

It's a little chunky. Would like to have it going on a build where the front bumper was very broad very thick.

Could have gotten it smaller without the slipper. It's a Holmes hobbies 10 pole mini out runner driving it and the rig.
I wonder what the slipper will do when it gets wet.
Wanted it on there though so no one loses a finger.

Re: PTO Winch with Slipper Clutch
 

Perhaps a ramped-key style slipper would be better?
Like they have in kids toys where a spring forces both sides together, but when it slips it makes a huge click or clunk noise as the teeth slide over each other.
You may be able to make it smaller in alloy or delrin.
