Caption: This is the last, and largest of the Ordish scrapers. It was capable of hauling approximately eight cubic yards and is pictured at work in Wellington sometime in the early 1960s. A handsome looking beast and Kiwi ingenuity at its finest! ⁣

Caption: Ray Ordish and his son Lawrence on one of Ray’s Allis-Chalmers HD-6’s towing a scraper he designed himself. Loosely based along GarWood principles, Ray built at least three different sized single axle scrapers which he used successfully in his earthmoving business around the Wellington region. This scraper, which was fabricated by Patton Engineering, held approximately five cubic yards, amd is believed to be the second one he built. ⁣

Caption: The R-5 was a very early attempt by R.G.LeTourneau to improve scraper performance and is classed as a semi-drag scraper. The bowl, which held approximately four cubic yards, could be lifted via cable & sheaves to allow for controlled spreading. LeTourneau didn’t like the types limited capacity and concentrated on two axle scapers instead. The rest is history⁣
