is this a elevating scraper

Hi, MrsMP.
It ackshully looks to me like a cross between an elevating grader and a Holland loader style of machine.

The first 2 are of a Cat Elevating Grader, a number 48, I think, and the last pair are of a Holland loader.

Hope this helps.

Boys that a Euclid BV Belt loader. Looks like one of the smaller ones, they made four (4) different sizes, back in the day.
They have removed the tracks and installed a set of wheels for moving.
Looks, like they are lifting the power lines over the conveyor.

sounds good to me the caption on the photo said Mack Euclid so what was this gem used for ????
