Caption: Beautifully kept late model Wabco 111A of Goodman Earthmovers working in the sandy soils of the Kapiti Coast. Goodman’s have used LeTourneau-Westinghouse/Wabco scrapers for decades, and your author can attest to the fine condition they are kept in. This 111A is fitted with a factory ROPS. (Photo: Internet)⁣

Caption: The largest tractor ever built by M.R.S. was the enormous model 250 which was available with a choice of three engine & transmission combinations. This beast is fitted with a Cummins VT-12-650-CI twin turbo diesel putting out 650 horsepower which was all transferred through a Spicer manual transmission! It was designed to tow the largest available hydraulic or cable operated scrapers of the day. ⁣

Caption: One of the smallest M.R.S. combinations ever offered was this I-90 equipped with an 8 cubic yard hydraulic S-90 scraper manufactured for M.R.S by Be-Ge. Even the small M.R.S. machines were well appointed and this machine is fitted with a hydraulic leveling blade. Note the good degree of visibility the operator has.⁣
