The guy that restored the diesel Lombard in the video was also a part of the restoration of a steam Lombard at Clarks Trading Post in Woodstock, NH.

I believe the King of Obsolete has Lynn tractors, which are very similar to Lombards, but the owner of this Lombard also has 2 Lynn tractors.

Hi Bryan, this Lombard is located in New Hampshire. Generally log haulers in Michigan are going to be a Phoenix, since Lombard Log Haulers were produced in Maine (and that would a long drive).

@@dirtdesignsnh Thanks for the info. I grew up in Bozeman, Montana when they were still logging in the Gallatin National Forest north of Yellowstone Park. I don't recall seeing any historical pictures or literature mentioning machines of this type were used in Montana, in that era. I do know, during the high water weeks of May and June, logs were floated down the Gallatin River to mills in the Gateway and Central Park towns. ( Central Park was located on the West Gallatin River in the middle of the Gallatin valley, between Belgrade and Manhattan.) I believe logs were mostly hauled to the mill on trucks during the summer, with loggers laying off during the winter months. After WWII, the processes changed quite a bit. A good book on the subject (although written of practices in Oregon) is "Gypo Logger" by Mary Shelley Felt. Thanks for posting the wonderful video.

Awesome, thanks for the info, we'll have to look for that book.

Hi Mark, we still have it, along with every other machine we have ever bought😂
