In it's day the 660 was a tremendous machine for sure. This outfit here seemed to have some very good operators, enjoy watching them. Thanks for posting
These scrapers remind me of the old units we had when I joined the Army. Cat and Clark equipment made 4 wheel drive tractors and Euclid and Wapco made the scraper bowls. They were one hell of a machine, power to spare and could take a 6 inch cut without a pusher.
Great video as always plus nice drone work on this one also especially as you have not lost the machines sound . keep them coming please a new video from Socal one of my you tube highlights always look forward to them
wow I thought I’ll triple six were dead holy crap back in the early seventies yeah I forty built through Gallup New Mexico that’s what they ran triple sixes sweet
With all the double pushing that goes on in SoCal today with single power open bowl scrapers be it 3 or 2 axle jobbies why has no one engineered a D10N/R or T into a DD10 and joined them together as 1 like was done in the 60,s and beyond with the DD9G,s and H,s?
It's difficult for me to picture what all of the scraping, digging, and moving in these videos is for. Are they going to build stuff here? Or are they just getting soil? If they're building, I'd love to see a before and after of the areas they work on.
Yeah, i'd say the dozer is the easier part. Getting the depth right on a scraper by eye, from the cab, is not easy to do... at least for n00bs like me.
Hi, Ken. Great video with very good drone work. Thank you. Are those 660s running 60 series Detroits? A kew-ree-yuss mind would like to know. Just my 0.02. You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
Hi, S. Rawson. Thank you. It's great to see those old girls working. There were only 6 X 660Bs made it to DowNunda and I KNOW 2 of them are still working and I think another 2 are still in working condition but not doing much. There is also a running 666B still working around where I live but I can't get to it to get photos. Just my 0.02. Thanks again. You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
You can run any electronic engine(s) that meets Tier spec's, highway truck engines are okay. B-model 660s, 51, 57s do not require lots of modifications to mate up to the pump drives, just flywheel drive gear and correct bellhousing size. Cummins offered flywheel adapter for the KT series engine back in the late 70s to adapt to the Cat 9 speed torque converter transmission.
