Tony, The owners manual shows both Eufala, AL, and Escanaba, MI. Gafner also produced just the loader (knuckleboom & clam) portion for use on other machines such as a catepillar. I'm not sure of their sales territory, but I know they were quite popular in my part of the country (northern Wisconsin). It's (according to the manual) "the original fowarder". Basically the same principle as fowarders built today such as Timberjack, Valmet, Ponnse, etc.. They were built into the 90's, but currently not in production. The later units did away with any of the resemblence to farm tractors. The earlier units (like mine) retained the styled hood/dash of a regular farm tractor. The very front of the nose was not tractor styled, but rather was built with heavier steel to withstand the constant abuse of tree limbs. Since my original question, I've discovered that mine was based on a Ford 4000.
