Fixing a neglected old Log Grapple

Hey everyone, like i mentioned in the video, i was kind of a in the mood to fix stuff and the next obvious choice was fixing this log grapple that iv had for couple of years now. Main problem was the worn out pins on the thing. It was still working, but i could not get it to work properly every time, the claws on the grappler would contact each other and the thing would not close properly. So in this video will take everything apart, try to figure out the cheapest fixes possible and apply them lol. I hope you enjoy this video and as always.

Thanks for watching!!
