Antique logging pictures

[Eccentric]

Here's a big 'un cut not so long ago. I refurb'd the big Homelite that was used to fell this Redwood in 1986. Cazadero, California. About 20-30 minutes drive from me. I believe the date stamp on the photos is from Norm's camera when he photographed the original 'hard copy' pictures.

My good buddy's dad fell that tree in 86. Took two 966 loader's to load each log, and a cat had to help the low bed in, and out of the haul road. Was a big local thing where I grew up, we all looke'd up to him, and they did a big write up in the local papers. He used a 056, and a 750 homelite.

Great photos. Thanks for posting them.
On another note, are there any large picture books with these kind of photos? I wouldn't mind getting one or two as coffee table decor.

I've said it before I'll say it again,awesome pictures. I really enjoy seeing these, can't even imagine these folks cutting these monsters down with misery whips. I love the old trucks, it must have been quite a ride driving them with those huge loads. Heck this load in my 1964 international was a handfull.

Andy, I see at least three more saddles on that load. Load it up! If you're going to town you might as well take some wood with you.

This isn't an antique logging picture but if you like these old trucks as I do i'm sure you will like this picture. It is my 1947 Dodge 2 ton truck parked for the winter out behind my house, we just had an ice storm and it looked so cool outside.
