Sharing pictures from our archives- this is from S Sharing pictures from our archives- this is from September 2023's issue- the profile on Caterpillar's D8 ⁣
⁣
Caption: Beautifully restored pre-1937 Caterpillar RD8-1H at a machinery show in the USA. It still retains the older large fuel pump and externally flanged carrier rollers, but it’s fabricated front idlers have been replaced with spoked cast units at some point. ⁣

⁣
Caption: A very rare piece of LeTourneau literature in my collection depicts the model D Tournapull with the optional EC-7 Tournacrane, which had a lifting capacity of seven tons. Progressive modifications to the EC-7 resulted in the model D Tournacrane which had a slightly higher 10-ton lift capacity⁣

⁣
Caption:  Two of the author’s three Schield C-35 Bantam excavator models (the face shovel was in storage when this photo was taken). These are to 1:25 scale and were offered by diecast maker Spec-Cast and are fully operable. They are great models and capture the simplicity of the real thing well⁣

⁣
Caption: The final two years of the model D Tournapull were marked by a name change to the model 109A (to bring it in line with other Wabco motor scrapers (111, 222, 333, etc).⁣
This promotional image from a 1971 brochure marks the last year the Model D was manufactured. The machine, apart from the now squared-off radiator surround, is practically unchanged from the original model, which first appeared in 1948.⁣

Caption: While still retaining its original Chrysler engine, this restored Schield C-35 backhoe has had its undercarriage replaced with some more modern triple grouser shoes and chains, the original side-pinned flat shoes being obviously too hard to find to complete the restoration

Caption: In 1960, LeTourneau-Westinghouse offered the Hancock 10E2 elevating scraper as an optional attachment. This image is from the first promotional data published by LeT-W. As you are probably aware, this machine became the highly successful model 111A and will be covered in an upcoming article⁣
