Gas vs multi. winch shaft

[Stretch44875]

I seem to remember there being a difference between the winch driveshafts for a gasser or multifuel. Do they swap between trucks? Can I put a gasser winch driveshaft in a Multi truck?

Thanks,
Dennis

They are different. The multifuel shaft has a longer thinner slip/stub yoke to clear the bellhousing and slides right on the PTO shaft instead of using the 4 bolt flange. I've had a gasser shaft on the tractor for years. You have to clearance the bellhousing a bit but it can work. It's also a PITA to get on and off.

Sarafan has a bunch of takeoff shafts.. cheap..saw a whole pallet of them last week..

I found a Deuce with a winch that the owner is willing to sell me, but it's a gasser and I've got a multi-fuel truck. Will I be able to bolt-up that winch and PTO unit? It sounds like the driveshafts are different, and I'm just wondering if there's anything else that won't cross-over.

the shaft will work ( I put an entire gasser setup on my multi) you just need to clearance the bell housing a little (grind the snot out of it)

I put an entire gasser setup on my multi

Thanks. That's what I was asking. I just wanted to make sure that I could install a winch and PTO from a gasser in a multi. I think I just bought a parts truck...

I put a winch from a 53 gasser deuce on my 71 multifuel. I bought a new shaft from Sam Winer still in the wrapper instead of rebuilding the old gasser shaft and grinding anything. Everything else bolted right up.

For those in need of gasser shafts, I have 2 used ones available.

Thanks for the info guys, and if I pick that truck up this weekend I'll contact you about one of those shafts recovry4x4.
