LeTourneau trivia question

Post #1 by Shovelman » Mon Aug 27, 2007 2:02 am

While the subject of LeToruneau scrapers is current, Id like to offer a trivia question.

Preface;

Tournapull was the term R.G. LeTourneau applied to the part of his early machines forward of the pivot point (engine, transmissioin, operators station) and were produced in "A, B, C and D" versions.

The "A, B and C" Tournapull primemovers were coupled to six different trailing units. The scrapers were called Carryalls. The other five were called TOURNA-----?

I have no prizes to offer for any "winner". Just trying to bring some life and interaction here.

Thanks again §wishy for at least responding to this post. Here are the trailing units attached to Tournapulls.
