I ran a letourneau on a chip pile for a few years. It was quite a piece of equipment. It also made a bang when it blew a wheel motor. We just called it a Texas tractor.

 

Very greatful that you read that book Deej....it was a very great book...It also makes you think about what you yourself is doing in your own life.He was the Albert Einstien for me as i am a monger for all things mechanical.....I did learn alot from his book and it did teach me to respect people alot mor thatn i did before i read it....I really hope others are listening and maybe some of them read it.I'm on my 2nd time around and i also picked up another book called 'THE CONQUEST OF COPPER MOUNTAIN"...another very good book and you will learn about the Ertsberg.....the largest deposit of copper ore in the world....and what it took for a man to get to it....It honestly makes you rethink yourself when you read about these things.
