Call "Baker and sons" in OH, they can pull a build sheet on most franklin machines with a serial # and give you all the info.

Nice little forwarder I'd like to own one like that or similar one day.

Thank you. It is a pretty clean one. There are a few around, but none that I know of working full time. And I could hardly consider mine working full time either as my time is split up so much between cutting, forwarding, trucking, bulldozing, looking at jobs, paperwork, etc...
I own my own logging operation. I've been through three harvesters, and six forwarders.... I was "up" to a Fabtek 133XL and a Ponsse Wisent 8 wheel forwarder. That was the most un-fun logging has ever been for me. My pace has slowed considerably over the years, along with my willingness to have debt. The most fun I ever had logging was a first thinning white spruce plantation with a Husqvarna 346XP and an old guy running an old Allis WD40 with a cable jammer.
I'm headed back that way it feels. I hope so anyway.
Thank you for the props on the Franklin.
Thank you for the welcome.
Wait til you see my lowboy tractor-trailer...



When it isn't on the lowboy, it rides on a 1972 Wisconsin tilt tag.
