Garwood Scraper to the AC collection

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   This would be the latest collection piece to the Allis Chalmers Collection of Redwood Valley Gravel.  Garwood model 511 cable scraper
We just picked this up yesterday morning. This is another piece of equipment we acquired from the Diener family in Lake county Ca.
We were planing on using our septic tank boom truck with the help of the Dieners' Cat D7 to push it on. They couldn't get the D7 started so we managed without it.
They used this scraper in and around Lake County for many years in construction projects and walnut orchard development pulling it mostly with an AC HD 10
Garwood was very closely associated with AC back in the early years.Are plan is to restore this and pull it with an HD 9 or 11.
Names and faces of this project were, Dave &Cookie, Charlie Diener, Mel. Charlie still has the HD14 of his fathers past projects.
Truth be known this is the only Caterpilliar dozer we own.(it is a very, very nice dozer) Can't imagine how nice an 2006 HD11B would have been had AC continued. So help we could use on this project would be locating tires.  2-14:00 x 20 front and 4- 12:00 x 20 rear, if any one knows where there might be some that's all we need and Dave can start painting.

	Nice piece there, Makes me wish I hadn't screwed up some years ago in not buying a hydraulic garwood scraper on an auction... they were trying for 300 bucks.

	It would look good, behind that TW speed ace, I saw on here, a while ago. A little anachronistic, but good...
