If you have a machine shop/hydraulic shop that deals with forestry machery around near you , give them a try . They see all kinds of older gear come in .

Thanks for the repley.Here in Fairbanks there are not much logging related equipment.Most of the shops up here do trucks and construction equipment.Tied to quiz the old boy who had it he only likes to talk mining.No luck there.Will have too build my own replacment parts.

 Ya know if you had a picture or three it would make identification that much easier ... ya never know some old curmudgeon on here may even have owned one at one time .  ;) ;D
