LeTourneau Carryall LP Scraper

[mnmusicman99]

When I was real little a Contractor friend of the family gave me a ride on the Super C. I went on later in life to become a finish scraper hand. I am close to retring and can say I have close to 35 of my construction years on a Scraper. (Ask my neck and back) .

@huckstered I feel for you bro I did the same thing except I got off a scraper

after 13 years, but I still feel the damage. Bouncing and twisting for 37 years

I feel the same way. I lived it too and I was good at it. For whatever that is worth.

Got to run a Wabco which was a modern La Le Tourneau- Electric paddlewheel

and electric steering-very bizarre- 1980's and even then then it was an old machine. Also ran a screw loading 615 cat another bizarre contraption.

Hope you feel better.
