Industrial design in toy form. An early 1950s toy from Australian manufacturer Boomaroo. It is not a far-flung creation from someone’s mind but an actual machine (a LeTourneau Model C Tournadozer) made from real steel. Although the plastic driver figure went missing quite quickly, the toy was very solid and functional. 1950s Toys, Real Steel, Plastic, Model, Scale Model

The D5 LGP was a development of the 90B series D6B and was very popular in Asia where underfoot conditions like this would stall a tractor with normal undercarriage.

For Sale! Fully optioned D5 SA pictured at a used agricultural machinery dealers yard in Idaho. This machine has all the goodies, ROPS air-conditioned cab, extended aircleaner and exhaust, and at least 3 hyrdraulic circuits to the rear. The full length fenders were a feature of the SA tractors. Just what the extra construction is mounted next to the cab the author is unsure of. The machine has been, at some time, fitted with a front counterweight but this has been torched off.
