Default Bull dozer blade

The second one is also a LeTourneau .The difference is that the first one is a D7 and the second one is a D4 .They have a Le Tourneau unit on the back for lifting . I have a old cat with a Le Tourneau unit on it in my collection.They were pretty crude .When they got wet they wouldnt lift a pail of water .The cone shape clutches would have to be dry to work properly .In the winter we would try to keep the unit coverd to keep the snow off of it .The biggest advantage was they could lift the blade higher than all the other dozers and the over head frame would give you some protection from falling objects george
