No way ! I wanted to buy this skidder when it was for sale and I called right after you. Ended up buying a treefarmer C4 in Gatineau, Qc. Found your videos about your Treefarmer, went on your channel and saw this video and I Instantly recognized the skidder ! We are probably pretty close from one another. You have a beautiful collection. Cant wait to start working with my C4 ! Enjoy
I had a 2010 tigercat cable skidder years ago and a D6 in the logging company I contracted for, in the grand scheme of things I found that the D6 was much better suited for the job. That machine could do everything the tigercat could and what sold me on the idea was the traction factor and not having to ever worry about popping a tire...ever.Both were equally comfortable and easy to use but the D6 was just more versatile.
Those machines are worth their weight in gold to a poor logger. I hauled at least one load to town every day that it skidded an my truck was a long logger. I never ran light unless the timber was so dry that I couldn't pile any more on it. Pocket bearing in the main transmission is bad.... find another said similar trans and throw it in or just replace bearings it needs as there still available from national bearing. They take a while to move in low range but high will keep up. I am sure that you could fix or find another g.i. winch to run on it. All the driveshafts are worn out but just make your own out of scrap drive shafts. No balance needed as its not a highway rig. Keep those tires aired up or your going to rip the sidewalls out of them. He can run a skidder but he can't operate for sour chili.
I bought an old tractor, which I do not need. On the other hand, one may need the inner peace that it provides. An tractor for me and a skidder for you.
0:41... The old Timberberjack has been updated with a later New Process 435 or 445 transmission. Same transmission as my C5C and easy to find parts for. A previous owner probably gave up trying to find parts for the original T98.
Makes sense - i think it is the 435 with granny low and the aluminum top cover. It doesnt stay in 2nd gear but would be nice to have a spare if i could repair it if needed.
I like it! If you look at the cab I suspect the tractor used to be quite a bit taller and something fell on it or they flipped it. Are you guys in Northern New York? Thanks for the video I sure enjoyed it. Best regards Bob from Virginia USA
It more than likely has a dodge 2 ton truck 435 new process 4 speed transmission that is how it bolts up so nice to the engine they came from the same truck
Think I'm going to keep it going, leave most of it as is and use it as a forwarder with my log loader trailer - I hate to pull it apart. I might put my detroit in it.
She's a beaut! Fix the widowmaker wince and you're all set! Looks like the type of rig you'd see on the set of a Hollywood Slasher flick that's set in the woods. Type of movie where the smart kid would say hotwire the timberjack and run over the killer and the dumb kid says no let's hid in the cemetery.
Wish i owned it pritty cool i rather diesel but its cool that its gas because i never herd or gas skider i know alot of old Franklin and limber jack where gmc and john deer
I don't care how bootlegged it is, that sucker looks mean and I love it. I've never got to run a old cable skidder, I've only run bug tigercat grapple skidders. Maybe one day I'll get the opportunity to run one, even if it just for a day. I'll probably appreciate the big climate controlled cab and grapple more lol
@@rollingupmysleeves I don't mean to be nosey but I'm very curious how much you were able to get this old tractor for? I don't need anything even this size now but I hope it isn't to far in the future that I'm going to need something this size, maybe a little smaller

Hey I just responded on Facebook, thanks for watching!
Great old machine guys - just imagine how much lumber that thing had hauled in its life. Cheers
There's something special about the raw sound of an old V8.
I know eh!
@@rollingupmysleeves Jeupp.

I have a 205 that's been all gone thru rebuilt engine right to winch. Love these old machines I'm in new Brunswick
Very cool, it's nice having a refreshed machine.
Cool ride Lou. Looks like one of those new vangeled Can-am recovery machines. 😀

👍Good for you. Hope you held onto the machine.
And got lots of use out of it.
Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful vintage skidder, love it
Thanks for watching!
I think that might be my dad's old skidder, he put a 318 in his old timberjack back In the early 80s. Around Saint John nb
Extremely cool toy I’ve wanted a skidder for years, I don’t know why I sure don’t have a need for one It’s one of those things I want lol
I know right!
@Rolling Up My Sleeves pS Happy New Year

An tractor for me and a skidder for you.
@@makingithappen5178 you are so very correct. Inner peace is a key component in life
@@stacyreid5077 Jepp.
Dude that's really cool I might sound like a noob bit I think it's cool 😎
De uma coisa nimguem pode duvidar
O monstrinho tem muita força
thats too cool to part out nice old machine good find:-)
It sure is
le bruit du moteur, super genial, si je possedais un tim comme ca , je serais content , il me fais rever
Thats a fun machine. Just snorcle it and send it man 😄😄😄😄
Them machine were the best and still are today
Grew up setting chokers on a 230. Detroit blew and was replaced with a straight 6 Ford in the early 80s. It's still together and runs
Pretty amazing!
Dang-it Louie, where do you find all these awesome treasures?
Pretty much where all the great junk is found! Peoples backyards!

First comment can’t wait to see powermodz stuff come up!
Eaton rear ends?

In Ottawa Canada!
She's a beast!!!
Oh ya!
keep it it's a beast like your ford plow dump
Keep it!
Haha another one for the collection!
It more than likely has a dodge 2 ton truck 435 new process 4 speed transmission that is how it bolts up so nice to the engine they came from the same truck
Yes Im pretty sure that's the tranny in it - any idea what the flywheel housing pattern is on it?
Pretty neat old Timberjack if you could see where you are going
I know eh - not a very good design lol
Still a lot of life left in that ol’ gal!!!
Think I'm going to keep it going, leave most of it as is and use it as a forwarder with my log loader trailer - I hate to pull it apart. I might put my detroit in it.
Oh Louis Louis... what's the obsession with all the junk? Just kidding, I enjoy your adventures.
*SUPER MONSTER THING ... (ONE DAY I WILL OWN ONE)*
Throw a 383 stroker in that old tank! Mr you could have true pulling machine lol!
lol for sure!
Never mind the name powermodz you’re all about skiddermodz now
Put that old girl to work !
That's awesome, the big turn off is the visibility
Oh ya horrible. No idea what the guy was thinking.
@@rollingupmysleeves maybe he was blind 🤣🤣
lol could be!

Very true.
I had my eyes on this... market place?
Yes!
Wish i owned it pritty cool i rather diesel but its cool that its gas because i never herd or gas skider i know alot of old Franklin and limber jack where gmc and john deer
Ya old school dodge 318 engine.
Back up cameras are getting cheap. You could mount one up front and have a monitor to see with.
I like that idea!
That thing is cool. Somebody put a lot of time into that. Don’t part it out. It belongs in a museum. Or just use it for what it was meant for.
Sounds good!

How many "plows" do you have now?? 😄
hmm, can one plow too much?
@@rollingupmysleeves LOL... Apparently not.
That whole machine is a widow maker. Part it out.

Are you going out an about today an then go down to the stop and go light A. Holy cow A ! You need to put some color on that skid there a hey.
LOL, pretty close there Bud! Thanks for watchin eh!
Just fix up that winch!!!
