Brought Home A 60 Scraper

That would be a 1Dxxxx model. Might have the number stamped where the tag is missing if you scrape around a bit.
Don't think it matters much converted or not so long as it's working.

converted to hydralic and decent tires, it would bring $15,000 at auction sales up hear in eastern ND

Would like to fine one like that or maybe a 70 and a CCU for my D6c.

Nice find, cut the side boards off, back to stock. Here is a link to some of mine-glen

What you have is a Caterpillar "round bottom" #60 cable scraper. As mentioned before, it is a 1D-xxxx serial number. The tires are typically 16.00x20 and are readily available--especially radials from military take offs. Parts are available from most Cat dealers.

If you need parts/tires, give me a call: 419-420-1551

Bosco,

As said you have a 1Dxxxx cat 60 scraper. If you have trouble finding the Sn a little paint remover in the area of the two small holes where the Sn plate was, should help in finding the same. Another thing is to check the rear axle on the left, if it has an adjustable (eccentric offset) axle used for leveling up the cutting edge it more than likely a 1D1089 or later. The eccentric offset axle become effective with that Sn for the 1D series 6O scrapers.

The tires with the diamond pattern were known as the “All Weather” tread. The Cat 60 had 1400X20 on the front and 1600X20 on the rear.
