Sharing pictures from our archives- this is from A Sharing pictures from our archives- this is from April 2024's issue- the profile on the LeTourneau Super C Tournapull⁣
⁣
Caption: USA based Super Cs at work removing a hillside.⁣
Many photos of C Tournapulls show heavy oil staining on the right hand side of the machine. This is a result of the triple oil bath air cleaner setup, and the fact that the fuel tank is located inside the chassis rail on this side. ⁣

Sneak preview of our October classic machine profi Sneak preview of our October classic machine profile on the Galion motor grader⁣
⁣
Caption: A Galion “Premier Steel Reversible Road Machine” of 1911 vintage seen at work carving out a road bed. As can be seen, this is a “5 horse power” model with hand driven controls and a 10 foot moldboard (blade). A glimpse back to the good old fledgling days of earthmoving. ⁣

⁣
Caption: Rear three-quarter view of a Super C Tournapull shows the position of the machine’s model T double drum cable control unit on the rear of the tractor’s main case.⁣
LeTourneau cable controls were very ruggedly built, easy to service and could withstand a great deal of punishment.⁣

⁣
Caption: Scanned from a rare colour 35mm slide, this is an Australian manufactured Super C Tournapull with LP scraper going about its work. ⁣
Production of the C Tournapull commenced in 1946 at LeTourneau’s newly established facility in Rydalmere, NSW and hundreds were built, some coming to New Zealand. ⁣

⁣
Caption: Beautiful study of a Super C Tournapull with LP scraper self-loading in sand.⁣
Not all C Tournapulls delivered after 1941 had the half cab as can be seen here.⁣
It took a skilled operator to run a Tournapull in this kind of material and this fellow is at the top of his game!⁣

⁣
Caption: The ultimate development of the original C Tournapull was the ‘Super C’ version.⁣
This was powered by a 150 horsepower Cummins HBID600 diesel and utilised the larger, 15 cubic yard model LP Carryall scraper. Notice how the pushbeam on the LP scraper faces the rear of the bowl as opposed to over the operator’s head on the previous LS scraper.⁣
