Sharing pictures from our archives- this is from M Sharing pictures from our archives- this is from March 2024's issue- the profile on the International Harvester model 175 Loader ⁣
⁣
Caption: For sale, any takers?⁣
This rather tired looking old girl is up for sale on the web.⁣
It is an early production 175 and still has the Drott logo cast into the loader frame (later versions had this removed).⁣
The track gear has also seen better days, but the four-in-one bucket still looks quite sound. ⁣

Sneak preview of our September 2025 classic machin Sneak preview of our September 2025 classic machine profile - on the Cat DW10 scraper.⁣
Caption: The author’s “Retro Contractors” Caterpillar DW10 with Cat W10 bottom dump trailer option, model manufactured by EMD in 1:50 scale. This is a beautifully detailed little replica, and it's pretty hard to find these days, as EMD has discontinued the model. Well worth tracking down if you can find one. ⁣

⁣
Caption: In this 1964 photo, one of the first production International 175s goes through its paces in a very abrasive environment. ⁣
This machine is fitted with a Drott four-in-one multi-purpose bucket and a five-shank radial arc ripper, also of Drott manufacture. ⁣

Sneak preview of our September 2025 classic machin Sneak preview of our September 2025 classic machine profile - on the Cat DW10 scraper.⁣
Caption: Unfortunately, not of the best quality (due to the rarity of the real thing), this image shows a 1V series Caterpillar DW10 towing an Athey PD10Q quarry side dump trailer. The PD10Q could carry 10 cubic yards of blasted rock and was typically loaded into the trailer by a face shovel. Not a great many were constructed⁣

⁣
Caption: The International 175 was a very versatile machine and could be found at work on all manners of different assignments.⁣
This example, a model 175C, is seen at work on an industrial estate in Illinois, USA. ⁣
Over its production life, the 175 gained a few necessary accessories including a muffler and a ROPS to comply with ever increasing OSHA regulations covering earthmoving equipment.⁣

Caption: McDowell and McDowell Contractors constructing a railroad bed for the Norfolk and Western Railroad in Tennessee, 1950, using a 1V series DW10 and one of Caterpillar’s new No.10 cable-controlled scrapers, a 3C series. The No.10 scraper had a cantilever rear axle which could be adjusted to compensate for odd-sized tyres. ⁣
