He's a 69 year old broken down logger that's broke-he will never see the woods again, at least
not to work in.

I've never seen an IMT loader/crane with a grapple. Interesting.

I randomly haul with one.

No wonder you moved to Alaska. Must’ve been looking for a warmer climate. I’m originally from Burnham.

That's near Waterville isn't it?

My grandfather had siblings that lived there in the 80s-early 2000s (all have passed now)

 

[Mike L]

yes sir. Your family was in Waterville or Burnham?

Around Waterville. Possibly a town nearby. I just remember it being a huge deal when they visited, like they traveled from India ir something haha
Granted my folks and grandfolks pretty much have/will die in the area they were born. I'm the outlier that moved to "afar"

Got these off the pump. So what I'm reading is that atf is a regular thing instead of hydronic fluid. I wouldn't have guessed that.

That's got to be an OLDDD book. Type A? That's like 1950s ATF!

Sperm Whale oil was a common additive in Type A until 1975.

Hydraulic oil will be less expensive than ATF.
Commercial Intertech is very general on their lubricant recommendation. A 10wt or an AW32 will serve you well.

Sad thing is a lot of that stuff he's been sitting on has dropped in value so much that it's probably lost 70% of its value in the last 5 years

True, but most has been run into the ground, so at best scrap price by the pound.
