That is a scary scary story, a person needs alot of luck with these older machines. I took delivery yesterday and I don't mind admitting I was nervous unloading and moving the old thing around. *S* It will take some time and work before I'm comfortable with her, but that's expected. Here's hoping the driveline stays in one piece, at least til I make back the purchase price*s*

Sorry I screw'ed that up, I'ld like to know what hydro is used in an old blister like this CAN-CAR C-4, I'm thinking -32-?and the rear ends 90 weight? no hope of maneuls, eh?? C4 with ford industrial, love out Fred

theonlybull · January 05, 2004, 05:50:00 PM

thier pretty basic hyd systems in them. hyd. 32 should work fine. ATF will work too. or if you wanna get fancy, clear hyd 32 8)

90w, or 80-90w is fine for the rear ends.

I've posted a picture of a 1960 vintage C-4 Tree Farmer cable skidder converted to diesel over on the Logging Equipment and Harvest Methods thread.

It is currently working on one of my timber harvests.
