Title: Timber Harvester Cable Drive System
Post by: SawyerNathan on April 03, 2022, 09:51:23 PM
Hey Guys! I'm a new member to the forum here. I have been reading these forums for years now. I have two sawmills; a woodmizer lt 30 and a Timber Harvester. The lt30 has been in the family since 1990 and has sawn over 1 million board feet. I just recently bought the Timber Harvester from a neighbor. That gentleman doesn't live in the area so I have yet to get the owners manual off of him. 

My question to you guys in about the cable drive system on the Timber Harvesters. I broke the cable and I do not have a book for the mill yet so I am a little confused on how the cable rides on the pulley. Any pictures or explanations would be greatly appreciated!

There is a TH group on Facebook that should be a big help.
If not look at the bottom of the page this post is on and that should lead you in the right direction.

If you get ahold tomorrow morning I'll photos of my cable feed.
I send you a massage with my number.

Just do the chain drive upgrade, fairly simple
