⁣
Caption: A view inside Hewco’s Huntly factory reveals nine LD3 Scoopmobiles in various levels of assembly. Hewco made a varied line of useful equipment, well-priced for councils and contractors on a low budget.⁣

⁣
Caption: Following the 633D into production in 1992 was the 633E version, seen on the right of this US-based lineup. The ROPS cab and cushion hitch are no longer options, but standard equipment on these versions. The debris guard has been removed from the top of the elevator frame for some reason ⁣

⁣
Caption: The 633 produced in the greatest quantities was the 633D version that was introduced in 1975. This is an early example with the headlights enclosed within the radiator guard (later build units have them mounted externally on the sides of the guard). An open ROPS and cushion hitch are standard equipment and this unit has a solid rather than perforated debris guard. ⁣

Caption: When Caterpillar updated its open bowl scraper line in 1969, the 633 got a new tractor unit becoming the 633C. This 633C, up for auction, is a fairly late example with factory ROPS and cushion hitch. The bowl sides have been extended slightly to increase the machines capacity. ⁣
