Timberjack produced a model 217 in the late 60's that was powered by a Perkins 4-236. Of course the door in your pics is an add on.

So did you get it all fixed, and did you end up buying it?

[TheDirt]

It is all fixed, after the winch incident I ended up having to pull the front axle and going to canada to the have the no-spin diff rebuilt. Then I wound out the keyway on the winch drive shaft, then the brakes went and I had to take the winch back off in order to get that apart and the re-do everything, fortunately I have had some really good help or I'd have been lost, without a manual or any timberjack knowledge some of this has been frustrating. Although, in hindsight I will say they are about as simple a machine as you could ask for to work on, once you understand them.
So, it's running strong now. At this point I am thinking I want something bigger and newer.
I like the Timberjacks, If i could find something Cummins or Deutz powered and a little bigger, like a 240. That would be ideal. tough machines to find though.
That machine was a confirmed 217d in the end, thanks for the help here.
It's for sale too, I think he wants something like $12k
