Sneak preview of our June classic machine profile- Sneak preview of our June classic machine profile- on the Mississippi Road Supply (M.R.S) company's range of scrapers⁣
⁣
Caption: A survivor, this non-4WD M.R.S. tractor unit is a very early model I-90 and dates from around 1945. It would have been originally supplied to the U.S. Army Engineer Corps and appears to be powered by an International-Harvester four-cylinder diesel engine. The rollover bar is a much later addition.⁣

⁣
Caption: The largest tractor unit ever manufactured by M.R.S. was designed to tow the largest available hydraulic or cable-operated scrapers of the day. Known as the model I-250, it was available with a choice of three engine and transmission combinations. This machine is fitted with a Cummins VT-12-650-CI twin turbo diesel which was rated at 650 flywheel horsepower and connected to a Spicer manual transmission!⁣

Caption:  Wooldridge model TC-Y Terra Cobra of CJ Langenfelder at work on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in early 1952. The un-muffled straight exhaust pipe probably made for some interesting listening. The push tractor is an Allis-Chalmers HD-15.⁣
