I recently purchased an older model Cancar skidder.  The ID plate indicates it is a Model C5D skidder, Ser. #5303115, Hawker Siddely Corp., Canadian Car Division.  It has a Detroit engine, 4 speed manual transmission, and a Cancar C20 winch. 
Can anyone tell me the year model of this mnachine?  Where can I obtain an owners manual that would list service schedule, typical maintenance, filters, fluids, adjustments, etc., for the machine and the winch? 
Any help would be greatly appreciated

It is a Tree Farmer C5D. From what guys in New England have indicated, Davco in Maine has good support for those machines. I am sure one of the mainers on here will be able to get you specifics, or you can use the forum search tool and type in Davco. Welcome to the forestry forum.

The guys up to Davco are great. I've called them many times in the past six months trying to work the bugs out of my TF. Prices on parts aren't outrages either.

The gearmatic 119 manual is available on line. http://www.numeralkod.com/cross/archivemanuals/gearmatic/model%2019%20instruction%20and%20parts%20manual.pdf
Have no idea what's all different on the can car 20, just looks bigger and heavier to me.
Got trouble ?
Make sure you know how to fall properly when you fall and as to not hurt anyone around you.
Also remember, it's not the fall what hurts, its the sudden stop. !!
