I am a retired scraper operator. My favorite scraper from the 60's-70's was the 631C caterpillar scraper.

I was running a 627E last week. With the right operator you can completely shape a jobsite. awesome machines

When I was little in the 60's my Dad was on the dozer and my one uncle wouldn't run anything but the pan building the flood control dams here in eastern WV. I would set on a blanket with my mom and watch everyone run equipment and when the day was done I was taught on everything because everyone was either family or close friends locally
