Le Touneau LW18

can anyone help with details of this rubber tyred dozer, you sit up front like a bobcat with only the front sheet metal blade stopping from hitting anything. It has hydraulic rippers and blade and powered by a 4/71. 1800 x25 tyres all around. There is another one referenced in a clearing sale in Australia some years ago, yet my search so far turns up very little any ideas?

    Sounds more like a LW16, 471 GM, 3 speed Allison trans with forward and reverse, made for pushloading D Pulls. Opitional extras incl 2 drum CCU, Recovery winch and rippers. Real mongrels of things to operate and they floated.
