Perhaps this summer 'd like to pay you a visit. I follow your posts as they are quite interesting. I'm near Tumwater and I'd love to visit Orcas Island. Never been there. What's become of the Model A skidder?
C'mon down! The skidder is all 'done'. It's as restored as I want it, and so it sits in a shed, nice and dry waiting to skid some logs. Along with this diesel conversion I am dealing with my primary hauler which blew up it's rear axle a few weeks ago. Very hard to locate a sterling 10.25 with 4.10 ratio '88-'97 for a cab/chassis. Then on the work front I am involved in a huge remodel of our local (only) super market, providing tables, seating, shelving, barn wood paneling etc. All with a looming deadline of April 15. Yikes.
