    Dumb question but........

    Filter plugged I had a HD16DP that acted that way at times. There should be a filter left front under hood that has a cleanable screen for the steering boost line.. On some models the same oil in back end was used for steering boost and tended to get particles in it . Just a thought. catdw21e

    Skagit Iron and Steel Works, Sedro Wooley, Washington

    Skagit BX 500 Hello CL and all, I was wondering if anyone has any pictures or info on the very rare Skagit BX 500 yarder. I grew up in Naselle, Wa near where Deep River Timber logged the North Fork of the Naselle River valley. My Uncle Bill Wirkkala spoke often of the BX 500 he "punched". It...
