Thanks for the reply Bruce. One of my attached pdf files is of that exact same brochure that you provided a link on. I did however find a lot of interesting equipment on that site. To low of resolution to read much of the text. I did not find an Athey PR621 (Caterpillar 621 based) on that site. I do not understand the language. Are they selling this literature or just providing it for people to view? Anyway, I did a search on 'Athey' on their site and came up with 23 hits. And in just looking around I seen that they had some very interesting scrapers as well.

Still searching for my Athey PR621 Specs.

Thanks Bruce

Back in the later 1950s the dealer I worked for sold this coal strippings outfit here some DW21s with Athey Dump wagons behind them to haul over burden from the coal and dump it where coal had been taken out.One time a driver got too close to the hole and the tractor and wagon went tumbling down the hole really deep behind it.I can,t just remember but I think the operator jumped before it tumbled down in the deep hole.

Thanks alot QuAD. I have been looking for this information for a long time.😊

I have done the conversion for imperial measurements.

Athey PR621
Struck Capacity: 15.3 cubic meters/20 cubic yards
Heaped Capacity: 19 cubic meters/24.9 cubic yards
Payload: 30 metric tons/33.1 U.S. tons

This puts this machine in the range of a Caterpillar 735 and a Komatsu HM350-2.

Caterpillar 735
Struck Capacity: 14.7 cubic meters/19.2 cubic yards
Heaped Capacity: 19.7 cubic meters/27.3 cubic yards
Payload: 32.7 metric tons/36 U.S. Tons

Komatsu HM350-2
Struck Capacity: 14.6 cubic meters/19.1 cubic yards
Heaped Capacity: 19.8 cubic meters/25.9 cubic yards
Payload: 32.3 metric tons/35.6 U.S. Tons

QuAD Does that literature show additional specs on the other side such as turning radius. If someone does not show up on here with an english version of this literature I would like to pay you to make for me a high resolution scan of this to a pdf file. If someone has the english version this offer goes out to you.

Thanks a lot again.

Bruce, I have 3 of the Athey PR631D models by Joal. They are fairly inexpensive compared to the price the PR621 commands.
