My neighbor picked up this for the engine. It had a 4 cyl. Cummins with a turbo. Sunday it still had everything on it except the screened cab. I didn't have the camera Sunday. Three of the picks are the transmission. Does anyone know what the machine was and the transmission? There were no brand names or model numbers on the machine. It was getting late and the pics aren't that good. I didn't think he would have it torn apart that quick either. He is around 72 years old.

Going by the colors it may have been a Clark. My uncle had one and it was that same color.

Euclid used to use that same color. I was just thinking about buying a book about them, and will post if I do and it contains anything that might be helpful.

I think stager also used that color...

Terex used an odd color as well....

Terex is the name given to Euclid after GM bought them. Having a Cummins and a screened cab and grapple it appears to be a skidder , I think Justin is more likely right as I never heard of Euclid and especially Terex using Cummins engines.

Mike,
You can't say that many more because the newer machines utilize many different makers of engines. Like Yammar, Kabota, Cummins, Mitsubishi, and Duetz.
But back in the era of the log skidder posted by the OP Terex might have used Detroits only. Times are changing or should I say have changed....

Those are the operative words in both your post and mine.

look closer for cast in numbers of a sequential manner on all the removeable covers and shaft extensions. for instance 65005, 65006, 65009, etc. if you find markings like this, good chance it was made by funk MFG co, who were bought by john deere. i sold a pretty similar looking dropbox not long ago from a pettibone crane.
