Over the weekend, I came across an impressive scraper at a government road-maintenance site in Potosi, Missouri. The presence of a recent can of ether starting aid on the operator's platform suggests that this JD760 (7G0?) is still in operation.
It's remarkable how many vintage earth-moving machines are still in use today. During my travels across the country this year, I have come across numerous of these old workhorses. Despite being noisy and hot to operate, they were incredibly effective at moving soil. Additionally, parts for these machines are still readily available, making it easier to keep them running smoothly.
I came across a fantastic piece of equipment recently. I had no idea that JD manufactured scrapers of this caliber.
Upon first glance, I can already imagine this ride being loud and sweltering. It appears that you must be cautious about accidentally leaning your arm on the exhaust stack and manifold while on it.
I have observed a few occurrences of this in rural Texas.
I have to confess, I've definitely been through it all with those hot, noisy, and dusty paddle loaders. One memorable experience was when a u-joint unexpectedly failed on the multi-driveline driven loader. It was a challenging situation that I won't soon forget!
