I still run a 518c. It’s getting impossible to find parts for it. Do you have any idea where I could find a esco bunching grapple for mine? I’ve got the log grapple like the one in this video but I would much rather have the bunching grapple, just can’t find one
Buddy, I have a skidder just like yours. Could you clarify a doubt for me? Is the propeller aspirating or blowing? What is the direction of the air flow from the radiator?
U can see out of that one there was a man here in west Tennessee that had one that had cages all the way around u couldn't see nothing out of it i hated that thing i would have rather drove the cable skidder
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Nice looking skidder. The 518s are hard to beat.

junkyards in the southern US have piles of grapples for most every make and models.

Yes, both the air cleaner and the dozer control came factory chromed.

This skidder blows out the nose, from the engine towards the blade. You can get reversible fan to blow that you can change for winter operations.

Yeah, you can't hardly beat the view and music of the old iron.
