Thanks for the video. First doodlebug I've ever seen with a logging winch.. Sounds like it's running fine to me. What happened to 3 1/2 cylinders? Looks heavy enough to drag a good size log. Neat rig for sure!!

I did what all the helpful A barners told me to do to rectify the 3 1/2 thing. Seafoam, timing, hotter spark etc etc and it came around to running on 4. Sure, there's some blue smoke, but it's been a ton of fun for very little money. I'm hooked again on Model As.

I have some mighty big logs here. Pretty busy til after the first of the year, but after that I'll be starting to get after next winter's firewood. I will get some video of the process for sure.

Sounds good! I like how the boom moves forward, smart set up. That thing is a real workhorse!
Love the old trucks. I think we need a video tour of the place.
