Malcom is that photo of that curtis-wright scraper and the other old iron taken in New Zealand?
Curtis Wright Scrapers
The Curtis Wright Scrapers sold into New Zealand Sat on Wharf in Auckland for yonks,before any one was interested, i know of couple of interested parties ,later on they were pleased to get someone to take them off their hands {Cory Wright & Salmon}, At that time they were probably only C/Ws that would be imported,The C/W at Auckland airport Site was about 18/22 yarder , I read the Magazine blurb about them in Malcoms site, there was a fair amount of Journalistic licence in that article, Guess it gets back to what one witnessed on that Day showing Ma age

The September issue #19 of Construction equipment Guide has a 4 page article, reprinted with permission from the HCEA's Equipment Echoes, on the history of Woolridge which was bought by Curtiss-Wright in 1958.
Pages 22,34,54, and 72.

Hi to all. First time poster here. Hope this is appropriate for this thread. I recently found out that my son is the "proud" owner of some of my fathers old equipment. My mother willed it to him saying that he could sell it for scrape to help pay for college.
Included was a pull scraper. Since I live in another state now, I had my brother get the info off of it for me. What he could see on the name plate - "Terra Clipper Scraper, Model 10N".
It has sat in the weeds since the early 1970's. I remember when dad parked it.
The equipment is located in S.W. Washington.
I'm wondering if there is anyone interested in such a piece of equipment before we send it to the scrap yard.
There is also an old rubber-tired logging arch. The only info we can find on it is - "E & H Welding and Machine Works, Oregon City, Oregon.
Thanks for any interest and replies.

Old magnets pic of that can.....
There used to be a couple of these in bozeman, montana. Gramps told me when they were working, they pulled 2x as hard as a cat can, and were broken alot of the time. Working in pretty nasty rock at the time.
