I have a Chelsea PTO on an NP205 in my '91 W250 Diesel. It is a 6 bolt version.

PTO winches are expensive from wrecking yards. I found a Braden LU2 and driveshafts and PTO on an old forestry company Suburban. I had to take the setup off myself, but it was only $150 Canadian. I would try forestry companies or towing companies who would rather buy new equipment than take old stuff off old vehicles. Plus, no new lighter duty pickups have transfer cases that will accomodate a PTO, lowering the value of older PTO setups. It's a good time to buy, but I wouldn't pay more than a few hundred dollars.

PTO winches are great, but can be a little more dangerous than electric and take two people to operate, as opposed to one for an electric.

Hope this helps.

Bill
