Can anyone ID the brand on this old and left for dead forestry winch? These are the only pics I have. Also any idea on price?

Farmi. Here is mine from a friend. He bought it in the 70's. JL-303 is what it says on the parts diagram I found

I looked up that parts diagram and it looks like the 303 has an adjustable lower foot/plate

Yes it works. There was a major bend in the main stem/frame that made it non-functional and I had a shop bend up a new piece and weld it on for me. It was before I was anywhere near half decent at welding and they were much better set up to bend some heavy steel and get it all right. Not to mention much better at it than I...

Documentation on the old Farmis was a bit spotty when I was searching for this back in '09-'10 time frame so the 303 may not be exact but many of the same parts were used on multiple models. It could also be a JL-25 Or JL 304 now that I look more closely in my files. I needed some replacement wear items at the time and was able to source them from the dealer in WI. The main importer is around Syracuse, so if you are in NY, as your screen name might suggest, that would be who I would call. Some day I would like to tear it down, clean it up all the way and repaint it all nice and purdy. Retirement project...

Thank you for the input and pictures. Where on the frame is that tag?
