Wabco - c pull

[td25c]

Here are a few pictures of my wabco.It's amazing how far ahead of thier time they were.It's powerd by an 8 V 71 detoit,backed up by a 300 volt 3 phase generater and 5 speed tranny.The steering and load chain are powered by electricity.It works great.

I'd say wabco used this setup from the middle 1950's to the mid 1970's The later models used a tourque converter.Mine is a 1962 model.Wabco had a plant in peoria ILL.I dont use it often ,but when I need it ,it's handy.You would think whith all the wiring,transformers,rectafiers,swiches that it would be a nightmare.But I dont have much trouble with it.

Hey 25c, I like your c-pull it looks twice the size of my 111A. I'm still wrenching on mine. I have been doing other things the last couple of days, plowing, discing, etc. This weekend I should get back to the scraper. I'll let you know how it goes. Your pics make me want to run it:).....Frank

Your C pull is beautiful. We ran D pulls and 111A's and a 222F and a 222G. You will never find a machine that will out grade these. Very little motor grader work behind these Wabcos. For an all elecric machine hey were awsum. With the proper care they will work trouble free until they wear out. Then they are rebuildable. We still have 6 of them parked in the field, and we quit road work nearly 6 years ago. Do you want any of them? normand43@verizon.net

Thank's guys for the nice comments.It's an old c-pull that just wont quit.Wabco built them for the "long haul".It's one of my favorite tools to operate.I look at the self loading scraper as a Dozer,grader,dump truck,compaction roller,and finish tool combined into one piece of equipment.In good conditions,one man can move alot of dirt in a day and have a nice finished grade when he's done.The 3 phase motors without brushes are almost indesructable.The steering is fast and responsive.I like the wabco's.
