That spar saddle, probably hinged for alignment purposes.. always stat flat to the tube . Sure don't want to slip a track!!! You truly have an awesome collection Skadill!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Where my campers for work is at the old champion international cat shop near missoula. There a cool old photo of a line up of a dozen 50's peterbilt log trucks.
The Madill story I remember was a friend of the family recounting how there was rumblings of the staff wanting to organize with a union. The family brought in the staff to a meeting where they were to set everyone straight. They stated that the owners would support the unionizing of the workforce if that was the consensus. Not many places where they would welcome a union by the employer. It was sad when they lost a large chunk of the family in the plane crash.
I did but I always do. Hayes and Madill DID change everything. Wished it was still that way liie you do but 'progress' is a crock sometimes. Thanks, Pal! A-PLUS!
Oh...I can already tell this is going to be MINT ! ! ! We ain't got that category of equipment in the bush herein N.Ontariostan. The pic intro is Madill's version of the Drott Cruz-Air 9000. hahaha
For cheap boom extension and reach.The super snorkels(120 foot extension) are metal pipe and strengthened by cables,lots of expense.A wood snorkel would be cheaply and quickly taylor made at each new site as needed.Reduced the amount of "machine" to move as well if being hauled down a road/transported.A bent super snorkel is expensive and big down time.
Madill made good equipment one of the family members lived here not sure what happened to him think he passed. Madill made small tugs as well as winders and dozer boats.
Every yarder has a strawline drum(Every U.S. yarder has a Haywire drum)It hold sections of 3/8" line that is laid out by hand.That small line goes through the set out yarding and haulback path first and pulls the big lines out to be connected to eachother.The coils of strawline are 150 foot long and join eachother with hooks.

Rhube Goldberg may have built that first track contraption must have been a nightmare to work on anything on it
In one of Al quiring videos I seen him haul a rubber tired yarder down off a mountain,almost lime green in color thanks for the video.👍
why did they use a wood log on super snorkels ?

@@skadill ok makes sense ,so that one is just a snorkel

Please show more old photos!
Lots of interesting equipment. Reminds of how far technology has come. Some for the better, some for the worse. (like DEF.....ugh!)
How did they stretch out the cables across a valley to hook to the yarder?
