This Caterpillar 637 is a motor scraper — sometimes called an elevating scraper or pull scraper — a heavy earthmoving machine designed to cut, load, haul, and spread large volumes of soil and material in a single pass. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of construction and mining equipment, known for producing robust, high-capacity machines built for demanding earthworks, infrastructure, and civil engineering applications.
This 1974 used example is configured as a push/pull unit powered by twin Cat diesel engines, a setup that allows two machines to work in tandem to assist each other during the loading cycle, significantly improving productivity on tough or uphill cuts. The machine runs and drives, making it operational and ready for evaluation.
The front tyres are reported to be in great condition, while the rear tyres are described as acceptable. New batteries are needed and are included with the sale. The unit is located in Albion, New York, USA, and is offered at $18,500.
