Did you guys just buy it or have you had it? Your prior post made it sound like you just bought it

We bought it a few months ago
Thunderbird TSY 155 swing yarder, grapple. Owhango NZ.
Looks like a farm woodlot. This area generally grew pine woodlots/ small forests later than other areas as the local bureaucrats and hill farm lobby tried to keep the large forestry companies out of the area.
Mute the sound.

I went down and looked at everything after the last load went out for the day and it’s always hard to remember just how big those shovels are

I seem to recall someone here saying that the Thunderbird TY90 Serial number is stamped on the Chassis somewhere. We have one here with no build plate. We have the plate for the Tube. Just wondering if someone could help me out of where to look. Thank you.

Post a couple photos of the machine & your location and I bet some of us could figure it out off of that as well

Having problems uploading a pic, but we have a tsy 50 that has a broken track drive sprocket it is welded on we welded the chunk back on but wondering if anyone would have an idea who would have something like that. Sprocket is 27 tooth and i believe 6.75" pitch.

With the Thunderbird yarders did they stamp the serial number somewhere on the machine other than the serial plate? in NZ we have two different TSY6335 with the same serial number on the serial plate.

I don't know about Thunderbird but at Madill we often stamped a serial number on components after they were fitted up so when we did the final assembly we got the part that had been fitted. That is the joy of hand made parts. They are all slightly different. Very strange to have the same number on 2 different number plates tho. d.d.
