yea, pads and chains, worn out down to the bolts....lol its a great little crawler, the previous owner just had a new crank and pistons, etc installed in 06, just hear something in the center of the crawler, not sure if its normal or not, and I got another bucket for it, as that one is ripped, going to re-weld it and put new teeth on and use it to move rocks..Thanks for the comments.......

The log arch is an attachment for the winch, its the tall mast with the rollers. Some machines have just the winch. The idea ,when skidding logs, is to pick up the front of a log(s) to keep it from digging into the ground, and to transfer some weight onto the crawler for extra traction. And yes the noise in the middle could be the isolator. Even when they're brand new they're noisy as heck. I wonder if the previous owner had that redone when he did the crank?
