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 now Aye Boy

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. The digital version on line is HERE. http://issuu.com/constructionequipmentguide/docs/midwest_19_2011 Happy reading. Alan

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.

Deas Plant said: Wooldridge scrapers Hi, folks. I know of two almost surviving Wooldridge scrapers. They belong to a man named Ed Akins at Placerville, California. I have a few photos of them taken on my last venture across the puddle. God only nows when I'll get time to dig them out of the more than 2,000 photos that I took on that trip. Well, lookee here. One is painted in yellow and rust and the other, seen in the background of one of these photos, is painted olive drab and rust. Enjoy. That was a very memorable day. Click to expand... Deas, this is an old thread, I recognize the pictures you posted as Ed Akins collection , he passed away a few years ago I'm not sure of the outcome of his collection
