Good buy and good dead - one more scrapper that did not get to destroy another piece of the history of AMERICA.
It looks like that was set up to run a logging arch - is that the case???? - if so, is the logging arch still around there????? If so, pick it up also, would be a good combination.

Sweet find wish that winch was on my 9u that would look good with an arch behind it. Jason👍
The son told me his dad ran a sand and gravel business. Good to know why the winch is set up that way. YeLLowIron has a couple of logging arches, not that I would ever need one here in central Oklahoma, but would be cool to play with
Nice find,
Can't quite read the tag on that winch.....and don't recognize it from the pictures. What brand is it?
I will double check next time I am down there, but I thought It and a hyster tag on it
Thats a Hyster worm drive winch, allot of line pull from that style for extreme winching. since its in oil field country, it was was probably an oil field tractor from a drilling company.
OK thanks,
Didn't they normally have a capstan on the LH side or was that an option?
Found it in the BruceOz stuff
Well after about 4 hours of working in the rain today, I finally got the pony to fire up. First fought with the mag, trying to get it to fire, finally took it off and was going to bring it home to work on it. after playing with it, and a call to a friend, figured out that the impulse was stuck. After freeing it up I got fire, then started working on fuel. With the pony running I let it spin the main on de-compression for about 5 minutes, went compression for a couple minutes, gave it fuel, and it roared to life. Sounds good and strong. Then started moving back and forth trying to limber it up, checked the steering clutches and they both work. It was too wet to move it around much,so I shut it down and came home. We are planning on going Sunday and moving it home, then I will start lubing and changing fluids and filters.
