Pics of a LeTourneau Model "D" Tournapull that is on eBay now. I don't know if this one was ever a genuine military vet (though it does have one rear tire that is an NDT). Also pics of a restored one that showed up at a Historical Construction Equipment Assn. event several years back.

Found this pics online - they were from a gentleman who worked at the LeTourneau plant back in 1961-2, and took these nice color pictures (along with dozens of others from the plant) but I thought these were interesting. Shows old Sherman tanks, and other tracked vehicles, that had been turned...

Couple pics from different shows I was at - looks like an airborne dozer, same model, I believe it's made by Clark. Same owner? Don't know. One was taken at Aberdeen, one at Gilbert.

I'm surprised noone has any LeTourneau stuff, they used to be a heavy hitter in the earthmoving field, even with the military. They built 10,000 towed scrapers and 2,000 self-propelled scrapers for the Army during WWII, and that's just scrapers. LeTourneau was in some way, a bigger company...

Anyone here lucky enough to own any military construction equipment from WWII to the present? Lots of bulldozers, scrapers, loaders, cranes, etc. served proudly, and though we can't drive them on the road much they are still cool. And no, pics of you having an E-tool don't count as ownership...

Sure looks pretty Neil, glad I sold it to someone who could use it. That came from builder77, he's looking down from above smiling at your new addition. :beer:

The plant is very much still in operation. Here's the website and the brochure for this model blade. Rome Plow Land Clearing Equipment

Guess what I found online? Guy had a 1966 Cat D7E up in New York, still serving. The KG7ED blade is gone, along with the armored grille, the engine covers, and the armor on the intake and hydraulic cylinders, but it has the military ROPS cage, the exhaust tip armor and the mounts on the grille...

The "Rome Plow" was made famous during land clearing operations in the Vietnam conflict, where specially equipped bulldozers were needed to level huge swaths of jungle and scrub to deny the enemy cover and concealment. Land clearing units were present in Vietnam from May 1967 until 1971. The...

Got the loop done except for a couple large logs we need to hit with a chain saw, and we can get that done right before the rally. All the debris is cleared and ready for a line of offroaders. Good news is, according to Cabell, we have approximately 8-10 miles of NEW trails that were not in...

Restro? Is that like Destro, that weirdo guy in GI Joe? So, you're going to restore it, but it will be black painted on the bottom 2/3 and top 1/3 is chrome. :) You got a head start with the armor, looks like time didn't hack that off for ya. Keep up the good work!

These aren't mine, but I saved them on my computer from years back. Maybe someday I'll be one of the lucky few.... My friend Ralph got a halftrack for free! Lucky dog, even if it's just the metal and nothing else.

Man, no love for the man's build is coming from GA today. :roll:

Looks like an airsoft M249 to me....

I got a PM from matt, he finished the pickup truck for a local parade. Here's a couple pics...

Already have all your manuals rboltz - I also have every one that liberated has. I have over 10,000 manuals saved on disk, going back to WWII, many more than LOGSA or Liberated has. Over 100 Gigs total. But thanks for thinking about me. :)

Ah, yeah. Thanks for the jackass comments guys. It was the family farm, I was digging up rocks, and I messed up my left wrist. My right wrist is what I use for the playboys, so the jokes on you.
