Caption: Photographed in 1979 at the Maori Farm opencast coalmine in Huntly, this HD-20 has obviously had a very hard life. It has a scraper push plate and has undergone some modifications to the air induction system as no factory delivered HD-20 ever used an aircleaner set up like this. Sad to say it has almost certainly gone to the scrapper.⁣

Caption:  A Germany-based Clark-Michigan 110H-T painted in Terex colours, something you don’t see everyday! The machine has the standard ROPS cab and appears to have been very well looked after during its career. PHOTO: INTERNET. ⁣

Caption: Although of marginal quality, this shot shows an HD-20 belonging to FJ Bognuda working on top of Moa Point, Wellington, 1955, during the construction of the airport where a good deal of this hill was removed and used as fill for the main runway. It is towing a LeTourneau K30 ripper.⁣

Caption:  One of the benefits of owning a twin-powered elevating scraper was that you could load uphill with a good deal of efficiency. This factory portrait also shows the machine’s rear fuel tank to advantage, placed just forward of the rear push block. PHOTO: AUTHOR’S COLLECTION⁣

Caption: Three HD20s pulling Garwood 624 scrapers excavate a roadbed near Bowling Green, Kentucky, 1953. The lead two units are equipped with a chassis mounted push plate for push loading scrapers. A great many HD20s were delivered with this attachment. The sound of all those GM 6-110s at full throttle must have been fantastic!⁣

Caption: An HD-20 with chassis mounted push plate gives a helping hand to a LaPlant-Choate TS300 motor scraper. Contractors liked the power and ease of operation of these machines, which was carried over into the HD-21 series.⁣
