bad ass machine

[MrStonemike]

I rode many times with my Dad as a kid, this was a man-eating machine, fighting with the steering clutches!

[dannevang44]

I believe they where also called widow makers, because of the steering set up an operator could get confused, going downhill and you pull the right hand stick, the machine would go to the left and the left stick would make it go right so there must have been a lot of accidents . I have never driven one but that's what i have told.

My boyfriend owns this super c scraper. Dale McManamon. He took this to Bowling Green Ohio for the HCEA.

@gmarner1 It's a beautiful restoration of a rather rare machine. Congrats to him!

Hope it comes back to Brownsville.

[oldnicku]

the one I ran back in 1971 was a 43 model with a 145 horse cummins, it had been converted to hydraulic steering that worked part of the time. and no brakes whatsoever.

[glennrickard1958]

A nice machine. It should be completely restored to like-new condition and displayed in a museum as it's a piece of American history....

[DammitDrag]

Kudos to whomever restored the old gal.

OSHA: a small town in central Wisconsin!

@ANewNormalcy Hilarious remark, where are the front wheels ? 

[diggerman220]

[generationll]

This same scraper was at the 2009 HCEA show in Grand Rapids,Ohio one week ago today

[ANewNormalcy]

When the only rollover protection was an umbrella.

[mathiastheok]

@ANewNormalcy LOL.... OSHA? whats that?

[huckstered]

@mathiastheok I believe it is a coverall company an abreviation for oshkoshbgosh

or something like that.

[minnesotalogger247]

Do tou have any info on the C' Pull? I have quite a few. 2 with 6-71's and 4 with 8-71 detroits. Also a few "older" machines with the blower equiped Cummins. I'd like more info or see some vids.

[jiggity75]

Awesome 5*****

[bronnen622]

Cool video, is it only front wheel drive, or is there final drives in the rear too?

[D375]

Good video. The Super C Tournapull became available in late 1940, fitted with either Hercules DRXC at 140HP, or Cummins HBID600 at 150HP. Later, the Buda 6DH691 at 150HP was also offered. The CCU is NOT Cat - it is a Double Drum LeTourneau, Model T, Power Control Unit (PCU). "Widowmaker" is their nickname, because they would snap at the gooseneck, after operation over rough ground for a lengthy period. If you were moving at speed, the tractor nosed into the ground & the Carryall rode up over it.

[EcotecUSA]

Amen! And the brakes usually didn't work, and the clutches were "over center', so when you released one, you were never quite sure which way it was going to turn, depending on whether, or how much, it was pulling. Anyone that could run one fast and stay alive was an Operator.

Great Video... Thanks!

[pitman342]

These are known as widow makers in my area. Because of the steering system which could catch you out real quick. I have seen a 9 yarder ,with 6-71, working. When coming down hill, counter steering is used like on a dozer. To turn right, pull left clutch and the left wheel freewheels. My boss used to drive one as a young bloke and reckoned it to be a good machine. Thanks for showing.
