Barber-Greene Ditcher, Model 44C |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||
Description | This ditcher is used excavating ditches and
tranches and can also be used for isolated excavations, such as
manholes, etc. It consists of an adjustable boom carrying a bucket line. The buckets penetrate into the ground and deposit the excavated material on to a conveyor. The conveyor can be set to discharge at either side and can be swung to place the spoil bank where desired. A follow-up scraper is fitted which drags immediately behind the buckets and cleans up the bottom of the ditch or trench. MT vehicle require for transportation -
This vehicle was shown in AP3036 (1st Edition) so was probably in use before 1944 but wasn't shown in the initial issue of AP3036 (2nd Edition), however, it reappeared with the issue of AL19. |

Angledozers - General |
This attachment consists of a steel blade fitted on arms
to the front of a tractor. When the blade is rigidly set at a
right angle to the tractor, this operation is called 'bulldozing'. The blade is also capable of being adjusted to other angles across the front of the tractor and any corner may also be raised or dropped to provide local ground penetration. When operating in this condition it is called 'angledozing'. In either condition the blade can be moved up and down by means of hydraulic control, operated by a small lever near the driver's seat. During bulldozing the blade is dropped in order to penetrate the ground, causing the earth to pile up in front of the blade and when full is pushed towards the selected tip. When angledozing the earth is pushed to one side, forming a windrow. The bulldozer is capable of felling trees from 4 in to 10 in in diameter by a straight push but trees up to 30 in diameter can be uprooted by angling the blade down to cut the roots on three sides and then piling the earth up to form a ramp. The blade is then reset to bulldozer mode and the tractor is run up the ramp to achieve greater leverage in order to uproot the tree. |
La Plant-Choate Angledozer (Class I) |
This attachment is fitted to Class I tractors (see
Caterpillar D8 in previous section) and was hydraulically operated by
two jacks, fitted one each side of the tractor. The drive to the
hydraulic pump is taken from the front end of the D8 diesel engine and
the blade movement is controlled by a single lever, which operates the
control valve. The weight of this attachment is - 4 tons 3 cwt. |
La Plant-Choate Angledozer (Class IV) |
This attachment is fitted to Class IV tractors (see
Caterpillar D4 in previous section) and was hydraulically operated by
two jacks, fitted one each side of the tractor. The drive to the
hydraulic pump is taken from the front end of the D8 diesel engine and
the blade movement is controlled by a single lever, which operates the
control valve. The weight of this attachment is - 1 tons 7¾ cwt. |

Millars' Wheeled Blade Grader |
||
|
||
Description | This grader consists of a trailer unit with
a blade 8 ft long to be towed by a Class IV tractor. The mould board or blade is adjustable for lift and cut, side shift, side cut and camber. The complete unit is mounted on a steel frame, fitted with stub axles carrying four steel or pneumatic road wheels. There is provision for wheel inclination, for side sloping and for ditching work. The swivelling fore-carriage is mounted to the main frame to allow for articulation between the hauling unit and the rear carriage and is fitted with a towing bar and spring shock absorber. The operator stands on a platform fitted on the rear of the machine with the hand controls in front of him. The wheeled grader is suitable for ground levelling and spreading, trimming earth banks to slopes and ditch working. The rear axle and carriage will move either right or left as required, enabling grading to be carried out to a fine limit in cuts, while the rear wheels can be adjusted so that they travel clear of the spoil. The height of the drawbar is adjustable from 6 in to 2 ft. This vehicle was shown in AP3036 (1st Edition) so was probably in use before 1944 but didn't appear in the 2nd Edition. |

Description | 1. The Caterpillar Power Grader illustrated
above is a self-propelled, heavy duty Grade with a fully manoeuvrable
blade which permits adjustment to every angle. The power controls
are operated on a direct drive from the engine by means of a shaft
passing through the hollow transmission shaft, thus making the power
controls independent of flywheel clutch or transmission shaft. The
transmission gears allow for six forward and two reverse speeds, and
incorporate an interlock mechanism, operated from the clutch pedal, to
prevent gear change while the clutch is engaged 2. A scarifier attachment is fitted, and a snow-plough attachment is available for ACB use. A small tyre pump, driven off the main engine, is fitted to some models to facilitate regular maintenance of correct tyre pressure. 3. The power unit is a Caterpillar six-cylinder diesel engine, Type D4600, and is identical to the power unit of a Caterpillar Type D6 Crawler Tractor. The diesel engine is started from a twin cylinder petrol engine, the power being transmitted to the diesel engine flywheel by a multiplate disc clutch, and a pinion which is manually engaged with the flywheel ring gear. 4. The braking system consists of a foot-operated hydraulic system acting on the tandem drive rear wheels, plus an auxiliary hand-operated system acting on the front of the lower transmission shaft. For transporting it needs a SMT, 20 ton, Low loading trailer or similar. This vehicle was shown in AP3036 (1st Edition) so was probably in use before 1944 and remained in the initial issue of the 2nd Edition. |

Adams Towed Grader, Model 124-S |
|||
|
|||
Description | This is a leaning wheel grader to be towed
by a Class III tractor. The operator stands on a platform fitted
on the rear of the machine with the hand controls in front of him. It is primarily designed to construct roads but can be used on any ground levelling task, where dirt does not need to be moved any distance and where there is sufficient space for tractor and grader to manoeuvre. Adjustable leaning wheels at the front and rear, controllers from the operator's platform and the frame side shift mechanism on the rear axle are notable features on this machine. The controls are mechanical, being foot and hand operated. Road or towing speed (in transit) - 10 to 15 mph For transporting it needs a Hands or Templewood trailer or similar. This vehicle was shown in AP3036 (1st Edition) so was probably in use before 1944, but didn't appear in the 2nd Edition and was formally removed by the issue of AL21. |

Muirhill Dumper Mk I |
|
|
|
Description | This dumper is designed to transport material over rough
unmade ground on which an ordinary lorry cannot travel. It will
operate on wet muddy ground and its most frequent use is the transport
of excavated material. It has a body capacity of 2.23 cu yd struck measure. It is steered by small wheels at the rear and its normal running speed, loaded, on a smooth surface is 6 to 8 mph; unloaded 10 to 12 mph. Tipping at the site is done by operating the tipping lever, releasing the the body, which tilts forward by gravity and ejects the load. Transportation vehicle -

Muirhill Dumper Mk II |
|
|
|
Description | This dumper is designed to transport material over bad
ground under conditions in which it would be impossible to to operate
the rubber tyred Mk I model. 'Rotaped' tracks are fitted at the
front instead of the large rubber-tyred wheels. Each track
essentially consists of one large gear wheel drawing a chain of six
channel-shaped track plates, so that while the Dumper is in motion, at
least one track plate is flat on the ground. The two tracks are
positioned relevant to each other by two lengths of roller chain running
over chain running sprockets. The maximum speed of this machine is
considerably lower than that of the Mk I Dumper. When required the 'Rotaped' tracks can be replaced by the normal rubber-tyred wheels. In addition to the track mechanism, the Mk II also differs from the Mk I in having a narrower skip and a number of other minor modifications. Tipping at the site is done by operating the tipping lever, releasing the the body, which tilts forward by gravity and ejects the load. Transportation vehicle -
