Sneak preview of our July classic machine profile- Sneak preview of our July classic machine profile- on the Clark-Michigan HT110 scraper⁣
⁣
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: Dumping an impressive load of rock, this Ministry of Works’ R-15 is at work on the mighty Benmore dam. It is quite remarkable how much punishment these tough old machines could absorb and still come back for more.⁣
