I would love to have the sheaves out of that thing! I'm trying to collect spare parts for mine.
Went back out there today, sheaves are spoken for, there was one guyline sheave left, for good reason, had a chunk missing.

Thanks for checking. I really appreciate it. If anyone ever runs across some parts or knows were some are, let me know. I wouldn't mind buying a whole parts machine if I could find one for the right price.
That is Eastside loggings SP23. (Just down the road from RAD logging) Originally it was brought in to NZ in the early 90's by Sunrise logging "Doug Peacock" It has no ID plate on it , I think it was one of the last ones built. Would one in the USA, know any history on this machine. i.e. Who had it in the USA? I have lots of photos of this machine, the picture of the machine going under the bridge... It is going into a block called "the Island" Big wood, no lift. Hard logging. The other shot of SP23 is in Kawakawa Rd "The RIP Forest" That was quite a good block, good lift...
Well this was a gift from one of my logging contractors; they found it on the job. Initially she was froze up but i got her freed up. There was still grease in the grease holes. One ear for the top strap pin is torn and the body has been worn. Thinking about building her up and what not. My question is, what color did berger paint their blocks? Oh and this is an 8-28. Did berger make a full line of blocks or just blocks used on their machines such as a guyline block? I think this is an older block that hung around until this stand was logged in the late 70s and it was so wore out they just left it.
