Is that 4 cyl the 2.3L Ford / Mazda gas engine? Had one in a little pickup in the early '80s, tough couldn't kill it...fenders fell off first.
Heard the 2.3 was modified with a steel crankshaft for marine use.
I remember Ford 4 cyl diesels in the old C4 skidders.....

I've got a Ingersoll compressor with the 2.3l Ford industrial, NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!
While a good auto parts guy can match up maintaince items, some of the stuff on it is Ford Industrial dealer only.....it'll leave a mark when they bend you over...

Yeah I heard the same thing from a few John Deere skidder owners who I felled timber for.
Lots of Deere farm tractor parts fit and the price was 1/2 as much at the farm supply dealer then it was at the commercial John Deere supply.

Get one as soon as you can. The neighbours will take you more seriously, helps validate you as a real tree co.
Plus all the noise gets them to look out the window to see who is working.

You're a true treeman Cory. Man, your thread reads like a piece of poetry to me.
It often amazes me that guys in our trade to not emphasize the "free workout" element of our trade more. I've got friends who literally spend thousands to get the mere opportunity of having the same work that we get PAID to do. But we're not on some gay treadmill. We're paid to have fun and make some NOISE.
