I run a 66 tree farmer on my channel. Power modz is a bigger channel that operates similiar stuff. A word of advise if you dont have it already take a piece of steel or copper wire 3' long and make a home made run away kill switch. Next to your blower above the starting Silonoid there is a spring flap, that stays open based on a notch, if you lift the lever the spring closes it, if you dont have a wire from that spring to the cab put one there just incase it runs away pull the wire, and the spring flap closes and stops air from entering the blower kills it within 2 seconds. You can then reset the flap starts like normal. One of those just in case things.
I believe it's possibly a 21-A gerrett skidder. 3-53 Detroit I believe it was the biggest model with a manual transmission. Everything bigger was a slush box. Should be a gearmatic #19 winch. Parts for it are far more available then the #8 or #9 on are gerrett 15 skidder. Probably be a world of rust and carnage inside the cover. as brake fluid is used to operate the winch. Will have lock, free spool, and line in. Will operate at Standstill, and driving forward, winch will not operate in reverse. That's one big advantage to the automatics is you can line in as you drive backwards. are gerrett 15 can not do that. It has the same ford industrial 172ci engine commonly found in 9n/8n/2n tractors. They did try and stuff a 3-53 in a modified 15 chassis, they gave it a different model, but it had a very serious habit of snapping drive train parts, especially so with chains. . In general, gerrett had a habit of stuffing way big engines in way small machines. basically makeing them capable of breaking parts they gave-em so much power for the time. . When actually putting it under real load don't be afraid of getting on the throttle. Running it soft under load can put holes in the pistons. There entended to be ran like a chainsaw, ABSOLUTELY FLAT OUT. lol.
Looks like a Garrett built skidder...may be a model 20? Probably a Gearmatic 9 winch. The Tree Farmer logo was used by both Garrett and CanCar of Thunder Bay. First time I've seen 10 hole skidder wheels...am familiar with 8's and 12's.
Not to bad not bad at all but just saying you live your chains on year around it well wear the tires down quickly an the life of the chains well dumenish rapidly just saying those tire arnt cheap. I do some logging around Gatlinburg TN it's all up an down great video 👍👍👍👍
Nice old skidder! pretty fancy..bucket seat and all!!
