Yall will get. It's frustrating sometimes, but that's just the way she goes sometimes. You guys will have it up and running in no time.

I did this to a 170 Franklin years ago. It was a 6000 winch. Basically, it's the same. Those winches if im not mistaken from back in the D turbo days got their pressure from the transmission. I remember we had a hard time getting the pressure right on the winch. If its not right there is a little round plate on the side of that winch over the brakes that has three bolts underneath through a flat piston with quad ring. It will pop the heads off them bolts so hard it will bend that cover plate and start leaking. We ended up having to switch to a 2 stage pump different than Franklin's winch pump. It would still pop those bolts, but only about once a year maybe. I have a couple of those 4000 winches now but they are on JD skidders. I have the manual on those winches too. They aren't very expensive. The 4000 thats on the 640L Deere doesn't even have a drive shaft. It runs on a hydraulic motor mounted right where the yolk would be. What you are doing is a royal pain. My dad and I and a friend of his who worked on equipment for a living did it when I was a teenager and im now 48. So I have forgotten about all of it. But when you get it right it's worth it. That skidder logged with that winch about 25 years after that before getting retired. It would still log now with a little tlc. It has a 6bta cummins aftercooled and powershift. It will pull so hard the arch is bent from backing up to trees pulling. You can put on a brand new 3/4" swedge cable and tie a knot and back a fender up to a tree and hook it to anything and it will pop that new cable like dental floss. Never have had to do anything much besides put brakes in it once and change those 3 bolts through that piston plate I was talking about a few times. The 6000 winches had a few heavier parts internally than the 4000. The 6000 is a little tougher but the 4000 operates better. The 4000 is tough though, because the 640L weighs 45,000 pounds and has over 250 hp. An average drag for it is 2,000 feet plus. And that 4000 does great! Good luck. Our hardest obstacle was getting the hydraulics right because we couldn't supply it the way JD did. Thats how I remember it anyway. Oh yea.... there is a stand pipe in the side of those winches that has an O ring. If it leaks it will drain the Hydraulic oil into the transmission over night and if its not plumbed right the winch won't suck it back up.

Just now getting around to seeing the video. Looks like y’all have had a pretty good project with the winch. Hope she’s up and running good by now. I enjoyed the LIVE this morning. Kate called and told me it was on. That was a lot better than listening to the radio. I made it home from my trip about the time you were winding down. Have a great weekend !!!

[@BackwoodsTN]

Thanks Goshen! I Leah’s appreciate ya! Next time your playing a show around here let me know! Also I added you as a moderator today 👍🏼

[@houndofgoshen5363]

Thanks!! I’ll do my very best to help you out as a mod during your lives. I’ll sure let you know the next time I’m up that way. I thought about y’all yesterday when I came through crossville. I knew y’all were somewhere close to there. The band I’m playing in right now is more southern rock/country rock. I play electric guitar most of the time but still get to play banjo on several songs during the show. If any of y’all ever want to come out to a show I’ll get you in.

[@oldmanmosh6056]

Thanks a ton!

Interesting video take care and have a good weekend. New Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦

[@davidberry4754]

There is no wrong way for it to turn just put the cable on so it winds up in that direction

[@timberslasher4899]

It absolutely matters

[@scottbragg8485]

Should have called C&C equipment for advice they have youtube Chanel

[@kylerutherford7227]

On the first winch, couldn't you switch the cable to the other side?

[@rossincognito273]

Awesomeness hi from West Virginia

[@BackwoodsTN]

Hello from Tennessee!

[@smity7096]

17 trips. It's like plumbing job.

[@brandonchristian2411]

Love doing projects like this! Awful lot of satisfaction when you finally make it work and it’s done.

[@clayparker7617]

Hey I run a sawmill in middle Tennessee and I sell a lot of Crossties’s but I’m just getting started and I was hoping I could ask y’all a few questions

[@BackwoodsTN]

@@clayparker7617 sure what was you needing

[@edwardcarter5217]

See you live. What was the price of the green skidder?

[@ronniesealy7931]

I'm a little disappointed for y'all that y'all weren't able to get the winch working correctly yet. I look forward to seeing the final results & praying for God's blessings on it for y'all.👆🏻

[@AnnaMaddux-xf4dz]

Wow that doesn't look like fun at all Good luck

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Hope the winch deal is behind you now. Seems like the loggers here run Hysters but I've been out of the loop way too long. Start skidding with that 5-ton! Watch out for them goofy brothers of yours and God willing I'll get up to you tomorrow after yall have cooled back down. Till then, be calm and quit pushing that blasted dog up the hill with that leash! Poor old wore out dog! God Bless Yall!

[@JerryC.-fq5ls]

12 trips not counting food

[@brian_2040]

I said 11.

[@tommyscruggs9077]

If yall can’t get it right call Clint at C&C equipment he knows this stuff. He’s had a KZbin channel.

[@MatthewBlanton-pd8ms]

My Dad has 97 timberjack same winch never had no problems very strong.

[@williamp4484]

Those 4000 series winch is almost bulletproof. I don’t know anything about hooking it to a timberjack. The skidder winches is geared different internally than the dozer winch to turn the opposite direction.

[@Maniacal_Saw_Works]

4000 series winch are the best

[@trucker447]

Can the hoses be reversed wouldn't that change direction??

[@lyleloomis3493]

For all the work that you had to do, might been better to get a whole JohnDeere skidder . To many times getting parts. Stay safe and stay country

[@johnbrooks9107]

11 times

[@scottbragg8485]

Say 10 trips
