About this machine

This Caterpillar 637E is a motor scraper — sometimes referred to as a self-loading scraper or an elevating scraper — a heavy earthmoving machine designed to cut, load, carry, and spread large volumes of material in a single pass, making it a core machine in road building, land grading, and large-scale earthworks. Caterpillar is one of the world's most established manufacturers of construction and mining equipment, with a long history of producing heavy machinery for civil engineering, infrastructure, and resource industries.

This 1989 example is configured as an auger scraper, which uses an auger mechanism to assist with bowl loading. The machine is fitted with a ROPS cab equipped with air conditioning and a heater, providing an enclosed, climate-controlled working environment. Tyres are 37.25×35; the fronts are new, while the rear tyres are reported to be in good condition.

The component hour readings give a detailed picture of the machine's service history. Both the front frame and front engine show 14,852 hours, consistent with the machine's age and original service. The front differential and final drives also read 14,852 hours. The front transmission, however, reads zero hours, indicating a replacement unit. Front brakes are at 892 hours and all four wheel brakes collectively read 623 hours.

The rear of the machine tells a different story: the rear engine, rear transmission, reconditioned hitch, and injection pump for the front engine all read 1,140 hours, pointing to significant rear-end and drivetrain work at that interval. The rear differential reads 14,852 hours in line with the main frame, while the rear brakes are recorded at 399 hours, suggesting a relatively recent renewal.

This used motor scraper is located in California, USA, and is offered at $240,000.
