About this machine

This Caterpillar 637E is a motor scraper — sometimes called an elevating scraper or push-pull scraper — a self-powered earthmoving machine used to cut, load, haul, and deposit large volumes of material in a single pass. Caterpillar is one of the world's foremost manufacturers of heavy construction and earthmoving equipment, supplying machines to the construction, mining, infrastructure, and land-clearing industries across the globe.

This 1987 example is offered in used condition from California, USA, at $240,000. It is configured as an auger scraper, which uses a rotating auger mechanism to assist in loading the bowl, reducing dependence on push assistance and improving productivity in a variety of soil conditions. The machine is fitted with a ROPS cab equipped with air conditioning and a heater, providing an enclosed, climate-controlled operator environment suited to both hot and cold working conditions.

Tires are 37.25×35. The front tires are new, and the rear tires are reported to be in good condition, meaning the machine is ready to work without immediate tire expenditure across the full unit.

Component hours are documented in detail. The main frames carry 16,091 hours. The front engine shows 4,911 hours, indicating a significant engine replacement or rebuild has taken place during the machine's service life, leaving it with considerably fewer hours than the airframe. The front transmission records 8,951 hours, while both the front differential and rear differential each stand at 16,091 hours, consistent with the frame. The final drives and reconditioned hitch each show 623 hours, pointing to recent overhaul or replacement of these components. This documented hour breakdown gives prospective buyers a clear picture of the service history and the relative condition of each major drivetrain element.
