Old Log Skidder pulls her first hitch of firewood+Winch has major problems
The new "old" Timberjack finally gets a test run down in the woodlot. Winch needs major repairs as it wont free spool because clutch discs are packed with oil and grease. Other than that she works pretty good! Got some new master cylinder installed as well on the beast. We take a quick look at the new woodlot where Scott is currently cutting some pine. Thanks for watching, look for the next video to go over what happend in the winch and take a look at it all apart.

The newest Timberjack skidder of the family gets its first repair. The rear rim was in pretty rough shape, but Scott patched it up and remounted the tire until a new rim can be found. Also was able to take the first drive in the new skidder and see how much work it needs before it can yard wood. Cleaning up the woodyard at the current job was also on the list this week, and watch as the Western...

The Ol Timberjack had to get a new exhaust, the old one just started to plug up and cause all kinds of problems. She sounds better than ever now!

I also take a minute and go over the controls and how to operate one of these 200 series Timberja...

    Are you using Jonsered chain saws? They look red in your videos, and I know they are popular in Canada in your neck of the woods. In the 80's I used them here in Oregon along with Husky's and Stihl.

    Is the dog a German Shorthaired Pointer or a hound? I like the Timberjack. It was a favored brand in a logging camp I worked at one winter in Northern Ontario. 1980. The other brand used, if I recall was Clarks. I didn't drive them. I was a faller. I thought that the full name for the Angus breed was Aberdeen Angus. You refer to them as two different breeds?

    Great video, when i was a kid my step dad was a logger up in Wyoming through out the 90's and early 00's. He had a red timber jack skidder, when i was 9 he (made) me drive that thing a little up a logging road, i was scared to death😅. This vid brought back some great childhood memories. We'd camp out up in the mountains for a month or so at a time for his logging, good times. Most people have never heard of a skidder but its still my favorite and most bad#ss machine of all time.

    The 8 bolt 30" rims are common, your 12 bolt center can be welded in. I've done that to a number of skidder rims that the studs were run loose and beat the holes out

  • @stevengonyaw1617
    @stevengonyaw1617 Před 6 měsíci

    Not much wood has moved here in northern Vermont ! It's so wet you need an airboat to get it out. When my winch was acting like that, i rebuilt the piston, seals, rod ,and spring ! The spring was worn out not letting it free spool right.

    • @mccormickfamilyfarm5511
      @mccormickfamilyfarm5511 Před 7 měsíci

      What had happen is the clutch seals over time had leaked a bunch of oil out that got into all the clutch discs, and then that in turn attracts a bunch of dirt and debris and get packed into all the clutch discs so even though when you release the winch and the brake releases the clutch discs cant spin freely because of all the garbage packed in between them. Pretty common on the old hercules but she will fixed next week and ill show it all apart. Thanks for watching
