Keith Pommerening Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 A customer showed his old logging truck with a jammer, aka log loader. Originally belonged to his father in law. He was able to get it back in the family when he bought it at an auction. Paid $15 for it. Last licensed in 1966. Not for sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyGunner Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Very neat truck, when I get home I'll post pics of my log loader that's built on my gooseneck trailer. Same basic set up as on the truck in the pics except mine is powered by an old 12hp Wisconsin Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

BillyT Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Looks like an old Ford banjo axle,run off a pto? Like when the old time farmers would Jack up one wheel on their little tractor and run a sawmill,pump even a welder! Those old dudes could do anything! When my dad sold the salvage yard he was semi retired,so he and the local blacksmith built him a wrecker! Used a four speed truck tranny to control the winch! No clutch,just the tranny hooked to a pto,with a sprocket to the winch! It was a synchro tranny so you gently slipped it into gear and the winch would run! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyGunner Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) Here's a few crummy pics of my log loader. I'll get more when I get home.
