caption: This J621 is going through its paces near Abilene, Kansas in 1966. Operators found the J621 a docile machine to operate. ⁣

Sneak preview of our January 2026 classic machine Sneak preview of our January 2026 classic machine profile - on the Wabco 222 elevating scraper. #earthmoving #heavyequipment #heavymachinery #contractormagazine #classicmachines #wabco #scraper #elevatingscraper ⁣
 ⁣
Caption: Scanned from a factory brochure of the C/222A dated 1964, the Hancock logo and model 222 can be plainly seen on the bowl of the scraper which held 21 cubic yards. At this stage of development, only a five-speed manual transmission was available for the machine, the Allison powershift becoming available later that same year. This was also one of the earliest appearances of the Wabco logo which can be seen on the top of the radiator surround.

Caption: A surviving LeTourneau-Westinghouse C/222A in the United States, a machine which is to be fully restored in due course. This is a very rare example of one of the early C/222As. The canopy was a factory option.

caption: Access to the left side of the engine was difficult so Caterpillar came up with the swing-away dashboard.⁣
This concept was used on all 1960s era two-axle Cat motor scrapers.⁣
