Archive deep dive back to 2012- check out the Caterpillar 633 scraper article and photos.⁣
⁣
Caption: Cat 633D creates a cloud of dust at speed as it races off to the fill in Caterpillar’s Arizona proving grounds. As can be seen, cushion hitch is now a standard feature of the 633.⁣

⁣
Caption: Taken in Queensland, Australia, 1982, this 633 has seen a bit of hard work and is idling, awaiting the transporter to pick it up. Hamblins had a couple of these machines that they used for a variety of work in and out of state.⁣

Archive deep dive back to 2012- check out the Caterpillar 633 scraper article and photos.⁣
⁣
Caption: Sitting quietly in a grassy paddock awaiting its next job, this 633 is in great shape for a machine 46 years old! Major add on is the aftermarket ROPS, mandatory on US motor scrapers since the late 60s. ⁣

Archive deep dive back to 2012- check out the Caterpillar 633 scraper article and photos.⁣
⁣
Caption: Really good factory shot of an early production Cat 633 elevating scraper. As can be seen, the operator’s compartment is quite basic but the overall appearance of the machine presents quite a clean look. Cushion hitch was not fitted to the early 633’s and wasn’t introduced to the 633 line until halfway through 633C production. Un-muffled exhaust is noteworthy.⁣

Archive deep dive back to 2012- check out the LeTourneau Model C Tournatractor article and pictures.⁣
⁣
Caption: Not too small for the big jobs, this C Tournatractor is seen push loading another of the company’s products, a model B-70 motor scraper. In the right underfoot conditions the C Tournatractor was an excellent push dozer. This machine is equipped as a dedicated push tractor.⁣
