Does anyone have a copy (scan) of the drive mechanism for a M4A3E8 crawler & Madill 009 tower yarder?? I am working on scratch building a 1/24 scale model of one, and would like to get every detail correct. I photographed one back in 1982, in the bush on the Kinleith mill property for New Zealand Forest Products. According to a bit of literature on it, the machine has one V-12 DDC, mounted cross ways mid ship on the deck, and a "angle drive" is used for propulsion. Anything will help, parts book pages, service manual pages, photos.....
Very kind Regards,

Do you have the number? The machine is probably still around.
Wow, is that ever some nice ground to work on, I have never seen a landing that big.
