Archive deep dive back to 2011- check out the Wabco 333FT scraper pictures and article.⁣

⁣
Caption: Removing overburden at a strip mine in Pennsylvania, USA, this 333FT is perfectly set up, loading slightly uphill. This helps to prevent overloading the elevator. There are some significant rocks in the material being handled which would make a lesser machine cringe.⁣

Caption: Taken from a Wabco publicity brochure, this shows a 1970 vintage 333FT at work in the Wyoming coalfields removing overburden. Interestingly, 1970 was the only year that Wabco didn’t put the two horizontal bars across the front radiator surround, reintroducing them the following year. The straight exhaust pipes are also notable.⁣

Caption: Shot at Wabco’s plant in Toccoa, Georgia, USA is a mid production 333FT prior to delivery. Of note is the heavy-duty spillguard on the scraper bowl, straight muffler-less exhaust pipes and the Michelin XRA radial tyres on the scraper, a customer specified option.⁣

Caption: First production version of the 333FT was the BT333F. John White & Sons BT333F is shown operating near Darwin, Australia in 1968. The BT333F is recognizable from later models by the unique tubular double air cleaner assembly mounted across the top of the back engine’s hood.⁣
