LeTourneau Super C CarryAll LP pan scraper

LeTourneau Super C CarryAll LP pan scraper, built in the 1940-45 era. 12-15 Cu Yd.

This one has a Cummins engine, don't know whether it's original, as LeTourneau worked closely with CAT in that time period.

This predates LeTourneau's use of electric drives, and uses a CAT CCU, and an interesting spiral sheave at the back end of the top frame.

Also note that it has differential steering, instead of steering rams on the yoke. Something of a challenge to operate!

At the National Pike show, Brownsville PA, which this year hosted the HCEA National Convention.

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.

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

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.

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.
