The Clyde skidder preserved at Long Leaf, LA has been discussed. Let's move on to the Lidgerwoods.

The tower skidder that was at Camp 6 in Tacoma, WA is now stored in Willits, CA. Chris Baldo bought, dismantled and shipped it at his own expense.

The skidder at Cass came from the Meadow River Lbr. Co. That company modified it to a great extent.

There are at least two Lidgerwood tree rigged skidder on display in Taiwan.

Here is a link to three photos of the Lidgerwood skidder at Ali Shan Taiwan.

I have been told that it is still on its trucks. By February 1921 they were using four of these.
