Nice pics LogDog. It's hard to tell, but that looks like the rivets of the boiler in that first pic. Also looks like you were fightin' your way around Hemlock trees in one of the pics. Nice work.

that is part of a guarding package, there is a 6"square tubing running along the side and then up at the counterweight.
piece of 1/2 plate, that hinges at rear, good theory as we get in to so small spots.
I wish they would have painted it to match.:beatsme

You just dont see to many 345's set up for woods work. Looks sharp though! Gotta protect them salmon, even though the logger is dying off.

I wish they would build that bridge in Ketchikan AK. I have family there. They also happen to own the redi mix in town. Im sure that would mean a few solid years of work for me if I would want to go.

Thanks LogDog, I thought it could be guarding, but I have just never seen any quite like that. Looks HD !! I guarantee ya if I had a big ole Cat in the woods I would have all the guarding I could get too. :usa
