Congratulations!! Nice looking mule you got there!! You'll like it 

[Stuart Caruk]

Yup, my Clarkk 667 grapple skidder shifts the same way 2 levers FNR on the far left and 123 on the right. No idea what makes it work, but it does, so I just go grab logs with it.

Beats the heck out of my old JD440. I can't remember the last time I go off to hook up a choker.

Looks like a work horse!

Nice mule firewoodjoe! Only advice I have is never move it without detenting the swing and boom cylinder/ valves. I bet 90% of all breakage on the mules is from not remembering that. How's the bucket?

[Firewoodjoe]

The bucket is pretty broke up but was plated and welded. And is holding fine. I plan on plating and welding better. And the boom is cracked. I'm going to cut off the goobered on plate and replace with new 1/2" I bought. For the money and condition of other mules  I've looked at it is very good. I've never seen one where the blade, center section and loader hasn't been broke. And this one the center hasn't been touched and the loader is cracked but not where most do by the mast. It's used and old but it's all mine😁

cables from there to the trans. could be there was water in the cable and it froze someone beat on it to get it to move

[Firewoodjoe]

Yes I know there's cables. And it functions but is very sloppy and you have to move it back and forth to find the right gear. There is no letters or numbers left anymore. Would just be nice to tighten everything up.

[Corley5]

  Could it be a Clark transmission? 
  Does it have the original butt bucket or has it been changed?  A modern by pass with a continuous rotator would be a dramatic upgrade if it's still OEM ;D

[Firewoodjoe]

Yes it's a butt bucket.

[nativewolf]

Congrats.  We're forwarder shopping ourselves.

My dozer and forklift have the same stick layout.  One with rods and one with cables.  They both pull levers that have spools with detents.  Probably worn out detent ball, or spring, or a groove.  

[Beattiebros]

I snapped a photo of the shifter in my valmet 546,its the same style shifter that's in your iron mule for the Clark trans. I believe if you get a new top plate it will eliminate all your slop,hope this helps! Chris

Feel free to bring it down sometime and try it out in these mountains around here. .

I have the same in a Timberjack 240B 1995. mine is a Clark 1800 and hold 10 qts tranny fluid. Book calls for Dex- two. I have the napa filter # which is the cheapest I could find. this transmission works well in my skidder. supposedly pretty bomb proof.

[Firewoodjoe]

That's great you guys! Big help. My levers are opposite (F R N on left) but that's neither here nore  there. I was leaning towards a 18000 due to the filter location. That gives me two more machine brands to get a top plate for 😁 what fluid are u using. UTF?
