Jr1,
Here’s a couple of photo of the southwest ripper. I’m sure it’s a Southwest. All the features are the same and I missed the push block on the rear, that was holding me back on what I figured it was till now, it was a little hard to see. All the other features seem to match up. If you will post the overall length I can come up with the model number and what size tractor it was built for, also if you can find a SN i may be able to help on that as well, i have some SN's but they are not of the early pieces of equipment.
Sorry about any confusing

I don't see how LeTourneau didn't pitch a fit about patent infringement on these models. They musta been built after the patent expired??
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
