Hi McClan,
Caterpillar came out with a hydraulic pull scraper # 40 that was designed for the D4 in around 1949. The 60 cable scraper for the D6, #70 for the 7, #80 for the 8, and #90 for the D9. Later these cable scrapers were called different #'s, 435, Etc...If someone could help me with more modern # for can and what units the were pulled by I need imput.
As for your D-2 scraper hook up there are others that make 'em. I've seen Bee-Gee models and such. Your ? is the same I had a few years ago. It led me to a 4-40, 6-60, and now this😮 :
What about finding a Carrymore?
See photo.
Hi Glen,
I'm looking through the Cat Serial/Product ID book and it looks to me like pull cans ended with cable operation and the only unit that got hydraulics was the #40. Everything else turned into motor scrapers of various types.
Could be wrong and if so I'm sure I'll hear about it😄 😄
The 435 you mention is a 13 yd cable unit.
The last of the two axle tractor scrapers was the 666B, 40 yd/54 heaped that weighed in at 149,500 lbs. with tandem power, 56 ft - 8 in long
Gets pretty messy to identify comparison motor scraper replacement units other than by yardage capacity.
If it's just later cable can model #s your looking for try these:
428 (12.5 yd)
428B (13 yd)
435 (13 yd)
435 C&D (15 yd)
435E (12 yd)
435F (14 yd)
442B (14 yd)
456 (18 yd)
456B (19.5 yd)
463 (18 yd)
463C (21 yd)
463E (18 yd)
463F (21 yd)
470 (18 yd)
470B (19.5 yd)
482B (24 yd)
482C (27 yd)
491B&C (27 yd)
There probably are more but it is to time consuming to check all the numbers.
Murray made lots of the little scrapers for D2&D4s in this area but most dont want to part with them. heres 1 a guy pulled wit and IH I9 and I used to have 1 that puled with a T20 but it had side wheels but had apron and all.
That D2 is pulling a C-45 belonging to Chuck C. He has done a nice job of restoring it. I have a LaPlant Choate C-20, which is basically an Airborne scraper with a gooseneck. Here's a pic of both of them after we went and picked mine up.

Bruce, a nice looking little scraper. GWH
Old Magnet,
Currently looking for the 70,80,90 models😄 just gotta get one of each for Play Days😄 😄 😄
Chuck has done a nice job restoring it. It works well also. He moved a lot of dirt with it that day.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
