@@tttco We work a lot with clarks Timberjacks and Deeres . I went in there and never even worked on a lawnmower! He hired me and I love it . Took the engine block out today and it was a blast lol
I love the 518 skidders. But all the left hand is the gears forward reverse and 1 thru 3 right hand is blade, all 518s pull the pedal back to shut off. Spent many hours on a 518C with a lufkin winch.
Brings back memories.... the best skidders I ever operated.
They don’t have a high and low. Pull it back, reverse, middle is neutral, forward is forward, twist to shift. Right lever is the blade
Dang it your right lol. Last time i drove a 518 was 2 years ago when I was working in the rigging under a ty90.
I'm disassembling one from A to Z right now . Fun stuff for my first time as a mechanic
That's awesome bud!! I'm sure you will do amazing! They are great skidders!

I know that feeling on stopping and taking pictures
Damn that looks to be in mint shape mechanically.
I spent a lot of time running one of these : )
FUEL HOG !
Good find!
Lufkin winch good winches, thats a 95U long frame
I had no idea....
the 518 has a lock or brake system on hand
Can't beat an old 3304/3306
Just a quick question. What type of oil does the axles require?
jeremyhuntermanning I think 80/90 gear oil. That’s what we have in ours at work
How’s it coming with the Detroit rebuild?
Not much progress at the moment. I need to save up some money to have the head fixed and to buy the gasket set...
