The Mark 7 Logging Arch

John has sent me the latest Arch Map! Looks like were getting somewhere. My hopes are that the arch staggers around oho, Indiana, maybe Illinois and heads up Wisconsin towards the U.P.
UPDATED ARCH MAP

It might be possible for me to move it from point A to point B in the Northern half of IN or the Chicago area and even MI if needed at some point.

OK I got to play with it some, I have a stupid question. Why are the holes for piece that holds the log tongs drilled at offset angles? To use Two of settings you put it in one way to use the other two you have to flip it over.

Things are changing in my schedule beyond my control, not going to get to use it like I wanted too. So whoever wants it next needs to speak up.

HEY!
Move 'em on, head 'em up,
Head 'em up, move 'em out,
Move 'em on, head 'em out Log Arch!
Set 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, let 'em out,
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in Log Arch.

Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Log Arch!

Hey Quartlow you still got the arch at your house ? If so let me know . I should be able to meet you Friday and move it around this way. I could use it this weekend and then get it moving northwest .

Quartlow · July 24, 2007, 06:49:29 AM

When and where? My schedule is pretty open

WV_hillbilly · July 25, 2007, 12:23:03 AM

Sent you a PM Quartlow .

Quartlow · July 26, 2007, 06:19:55 PM

Boy are you in trouble Jeff, your log arch is going to the flea market :D :D :D

WV_hillbilly · July 26, 2007, 09:12:12 PM

See ya in the morning Quartlow. I was going to ask who wants it next but maybe that depends on the coin flow at the flea market .

Quartlow · July 26, 2007, 09:37:52 PM

It is kind of a pretty blue, we may be able to squeeze a sawbuck out of it :D

DR Buck · July 27, 2007, 06:34:25 AM

Is it going to make it to Harrison for the Pig Roast? Be nice if it could..

Quartlow · July 27, 2007, 02:28:19 PM

Well last I saw it was headed south bouncing along behind red Chevy truck at a high rate of speed.

WV_hillbilly · July 27, 2007, 02:47:00 PM

We made it . It's a good thing those are high speeed hubs on it . The only thing missing is the little knobbies from the tires so I quess they are broke in now and ready for work . Passed a couple police cars and got some funny looks .

Captain · July 27, 2007, 05:49:23 PM

The hubs are high speed...what are the TIRES rated for?? :D

DR Buck · July 27, 2007, 06:51:57 PM

Might be one of us ~~should~~ could pass through WVA on the way north to the UP and pick it up. ;D I suspect it will fit in the back of a pick-up? Unless Jeff is in no hurry to get his hands on it. ;D

Jeff · July 29, 2007, 08:22:23 PM

I'd love to get a look at it. :D

WV_hillbilly · July 29, 2007, 09:43:38 PM

I used it today to pull 5 cherry logs up to the house with my 4wheeler . It worked out slick as I just weaved in and out of the residual trees with out making a new road . The wife isn't pleased . I told her if I get one of those aches I will need to get a bigger 4 wheeler to pull it . The steering was real light on a few turns . Then again maybe I should hitch it to the farm tractor. it out weighs the 4wheeler by about 5000 lbs. I will get some pics up here tommorrow or Tuesday.The arch is a very usefull piece of equipment for my property and it 's my favorite color BLUE . Now I just need to convince the financial adviser ( wife) .
