- The new "old" Timberjack finally gets a test run down in the woodlot. Winch needs major repairs as it wont free spool because clutch discs are packed with oil and grease. Other than that she works pretty good! Got some new master cylinder installed as well on the beast. We take a quick look at the new woodlot where Scott is currently cutting some pine. Thanks for watching, look for the next video to go over what happend in the winch and take a look at it all apart.

Best part of the video is the moment you say the skidder is gonna start and then you spray in a little ether and off she goes!
Good to see the jack out running. hearing about fixing the winch reminded me that I need to get mine back together. Nice job
Thanks, yes better get it back together!
I'm just here for the accent :) Thank you! Greetings from central Vermont. Happy Thanksgiving.
Oh well I hope I was up to Maine standards then!
@@mccormickfamilyfarm5511You're welcome in Vermont anytime. I'll warm the maple syrup for you! Keep up the great work.
Great video. The old jacks will still work well with a little work.
For sure!
Had a TJack 550 back in the day. Worked alongside of these and the amazing 404's. Good times.
Ole Lilith and the gang still trying to hold up things just keep moving forward I’m coming 🎉🎉🎉🎉we won in court last Friday
Love theese old skidders. I have a rigged Fiat 540dt tractor :)
Are you in the USA or a different country? When I hear Fiat im thinking across the pond somewhere?? Thanks for watching
Norway :) fiat logging tractor.
Hey there good to see ya that old girl timber jack still seems to work fine . Got your deer I see your little girl got her first one pretty proud of it . Still plain on coming to visit one of these days . Scott stay safe you and the family keep at it .
You bet
Great video. Has me thinking about buying a timberjack myself.
Oh I think you should. I just see your on the west coast, im surprised you dont have a cable skidder, I think it would be much lower overhead and maintenance than the track hoe! Good luck over there, be safe!
So glad you're back on RUclips, you had me worried. And congratulations to your daughter on her first buck🎉
Well worry no more! haha thanks for tagging along
Hey Scott. Loving the content! Me and my boys have been watching. We are down in Vermont. It was funny coming across you’re channel, I grew up running an old 83-84 Timberjack 208E. Had the bigger rearends from a 225. This year I just purchased a Thomas band mill. Got the next size up from yours. Love it. Keep it up! Congratulations on your daughter’s first deer! That’s awesome
Let’s turn this country Red! Pass it on and watch it if you haven’t seen any. I’ve been working hard since last February turning this country Red and we almost there we need more help on your side of the country 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Perfect video!
Thanks!
Rigs comin along nicely. blew the arm off my diff housing on my 325 Jack what a pain to find a housing lol
Well that puts a damper on things! Some of these old parts are getting tricky to find thats for sure.
@@mccormickfamilyfarm5511 problem for mine is it’s a weird model the 325/330’s were 69-76 and Randy nason told me mines the only 325 he’s had to look for parts for I’ve seen a couple 330’s though
Not much wood has moved here in northern Vermont ! It's so wet you need an airboat to get it out. When my winch was acting like that, i rebuilt the piston, seals, rod ,and spring ! The spring was worn out not letting it free spool right.
Happy Thanksgiving McCormick family!!
Thank you for sharing with us!!
Same to you!
Got the old winch backed in a corner! Just checking in and letting you know we winning ❤🎉🎉😂
Good morning and nice video. Take care and have a blessed and safe day and Happy Thanksgiving
Thank you! You too!
Great video thanks for sharing
They lost in court so it’s a wrap! Just got to tie up loose ends and get to the money now so keep doing you and how’s that project coming? You know who Big Meech is? I’m getting married to him 😂😂😂😂❤
It will be a good skidder , if you ever have winch troubles. Let me know. I know em well. Same as ol jacks. I build a lot of saws now
Do you have the part number for that cowl muffler that’s on your newer 225?
Happy Thanksgiving what is going on with your winch hard to pull out holds wood up
What had happen is the clutch seals over time had leaked a bunch of oil out that got into all the clutch discs, and then that in turn attracts a bunch of dirt and debris and get packed into all the clutch discs so even though when you release the winch and the brake releases the clutch discs cant spin freely because of all the garbage packed in between them. Pretty common on the old hercules but she will fixed next week and ill show it all apart. Thanks for watching
Have had old timberjacks since 1965 you can take winch top cover up 4 bolts and wash with quart bottle with hole squeeze with gas when releasing then wash it winch in also outside band helps to have a helper 1 quart or 2 fixed
Where ya at? Ain't seen a video for a year now, everything going ok?
what type of protective pants r u wearing? look comfortable
Hey Scott were did you get your loggers tape
Any new videos coming this winter? Enjoy the content
Hey, which Milll do you sell your pulp wood logs to?
I spent most of my working career in Fine Paper Distribution and visited S.D. Warren and Frazer Paper in the latte 60s paper mfg is not what it used to be, I'm sure your family knows that all too well.
Pretty much the only big pulp mill left in the game - Sappi
Are you using a Jonsered chainsaw?
Where’d you go bud?? 01.09.25..
Where did you find that skidder
Oh a friend of mine, been after him to sell it to me for a few years now. He had his fun with it, so now its my turn haha
I never knew how to spell winch but we say wanch😂😂😂
I was wondering if you felt the same way and I was just about to message you 😮😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉🎉 the winch is crazy especially the one from Ireland who’s so broke she can’t buy a plane ticket back home
I use brake cleaner instead of starting fluid .....its easy on the motor ...
I’m hungry I have no money and no transportation so just to show you I’m suffering too and shouldn’t be! None of us should be when my dad worked hard to make sure we never had days like this ❤
She has no power she forfeited it and the trust is irrevocable so that is what leads to all bs❤thanks
I asked Elon to make us a greenhouse with a built in irrigation system
These people been giving my money to every criminal drug dealer and drug addict and alcoholic they can find but the truth is birds of a feather flock together and I don’t know if you knew this already
I want a indica and a setiva
Watching RSBN for election results. These people still filing petitions in court about something I’ve already won but they have appeal rights like anyone else 😡 hold on I’m coming. Hope you been working on our project but what I haven’t told you the whole thing 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉ttyl
Just checking in to update you these people got a family member that’s a corrupt attorney who is trying to pull everything and the kitchen sink to stop the release of my inheritance. I don’t know this crook but looks like they’d rather go to prison instead of obeying the judges decision. My attorney can’t do anything about this so he’s allowing them to be arrested and then we can legally make our next move. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated I’m not just doing this for me I got 1k kids too. ❤thx
Trump will be back in the Oval Office January 21st so hold on I’m coming
