I may be in luck I talked to a guy that knows someone parting out a c4b and it still has the winch on it that he believes is the same winch as mine.

Well the winch sold to another guy before I could grab it. Does anyone have a parts source for these winches or have a complete one in good shape. These are the same as the early timberjack skidders.

Or how about a complete working gearmatic 9 winch?

I have a good lead on another Braden off a dismantled c4b so I may be purchasing that winch to replace mine.

So for those that are following this thread I did purchase another Braden winch in good shape from a member on here. I finally got the skidder home to start the project. I decided to go ahead and fix all the issues it has while it's in the shop. 
So I took the old winch off and putting it aside for spare parts. I also took the original fuel tank out and brought it to a local welder to re skin the top of the tank because it rusted a large hole in it. My plan is to restore it all back to original while fixing the issues. Also going to be replacing the center pins and bushings and putting new brass pins in the last planetary that hasn't been rebuilt yet. I will be loading pics as I go along. img]http://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/23822/20181102_143345.jpg?easyrotate_cache=1541601076[/img]
