Wabco scrapers at work
Yes you are correct the 10E2 Hancock is rated at 10 cubic yards. Have fun with your first scraper and, if you are anything like me, you will still have it 18 years later. All the best. Gordon -
Wabco scrapers at work
The machine you have is a model D Tournapull tractor and the bowl will be either 10E2 Hancock or 111A Wabco. You can tell the difference from looking at the bowl side reinforcing, If it is all straight down then it is a 10E2. If one straight and the others diagonal then it is a 111A. Hope this... -

Just had a quick read through my C'Pull service manual and it says " More than normal charge rate indicates !. Flux bridge lost, or 2. Flux bridge shimmed out too far." I have never done this but I presume you would be able to do a resistance (ohm) test across the flux bridge terminals with a... -

Well done very ingenious solution to the "problem". Shame OEM engineers didn't think ahead. Cheers Gordon -
Wabco scrapers at work
Hi Tones The model before was a D'Pull with 10E2 Hancock bowl. About the only significant difference was lower HP from 4-71 at 148BHP and they carried 1 less yard in payload. So I am presuming the one you are thinking of has a Fuller manual transmission because the D'Pull did come out with an... -

You know squid_wood777 what you say is very true. Very few (if any) new scraper operators in the industry will ever have the opportunity to operate anything but CAT scrapers. They will never know why older operators may prefer LeTourneau/Wabco, Euclid/Terex, Allis Chalmers/Fiat Allis, Komatsu or... -

Amazing that Cat stopped producing the 639 in 1984 because "...it never quite found its niche in the market..." Eric Orlemann Caterpillar Chronicle p108, yet Wabco continued to produce 353FT's until is sold out to Dresser. The last Australian delivery in 1985 which is still working today for... -

Hey Stan Finally coming to New Zealand - flying over on 30 April and leaving on 14 May 2018. Flying to/from Wellington so was wondering if there might be a chance to catch up with you and see your Wabcos. Will be with my wife and a couple of friends and are planning to do a self-drive... -

Couldn't agree more with the above comments. Styling would definitely need to remain classic Wabco and the challenge for Detroit Diesel would be to make Tier 4 compliant 2 strokes. It would be good to put some competition for Caterpillar back into the market. -

Well said Tones now that Komatsu own the patents to the best loading (Wabco) bowls ever made. Hopefully they wouldn't make the same mistakes they made with the WS-16 & 23's with the ghastly air of hydraulic control system and the problematic suspension axle system. -

C pull Hi Stan Great shots of the rockers! Thanks for the heads up on C'Pull spares, I really only need someone who is handy with a welder to get most of what needs to be done to my baby. I have already rebuilt the motor, and generator and put a new friction plate in the clutch. The rest is... -

Hi Stan Yes Ian Told me you had called in and looked over "Wally". I absolutely loved that machine and was proud of it, being only the third owner since new, and it was in my possession for over 18 years! It was a pleasure to operate with the previous owner converting the electric over... -

Hi Tones What RZucker says is correct, open bowl is a 229. If you have a look back further in this thread you will see my pictures of my 229F - my avatar also shows it. They are a great machine, much easier loading than a Cat 621. Cheers Gordon -

Hey Steve The video is great! It is really good to have some aerial views of all that is going on. A little while ago you were saying you may be interested in a 222H. There is one up for sale in Victoria... -
111A sprokets
G'day Roybags You can try Tsubaki Australia they are in Dandenong phone number 03 9215 2888 for sprockets they may also be able to supply cutting edges. Roylances in NSW may also be a source of Ground Engaging Tools. I got some routers for my Wabco 229F from them a little while ago (website... -
What scraper would be close to a Allis Chalmers 260 size, must be open bowl
An Allis 260 is equivalent in size to a Cat 621 or a Wabco 229F/G/H as far as single power hydraulic scrapers, and a Cat 627 or Terex TS14 for twin power machines. Pre hydraulic, that is cable operated scrapers single power, it would equate to a Cat 619 or Letourneau-Westinghouse/Wabco C'Pull -
