    On a road job near Galva, Illinois, in September, 1938, a Cat D4 with a High Loader is spreading fill, plus towing a disc and a pneumatic roller. It also ditched, placed pipe, and cleared brush. The machine handled excavation as well, including overburden, gravel, and earth and rock cuts.

    The Drag Scraper Derrick is especially adapted for conditions requiring this means of handling material, but where the high cost of a dragline excavating machine is prohibitive. This derrick is made convertible, employing our improved fittings. It may be used for drag bucket work and block hoisting. It may be mounted on skids and rollers, or wheels mounted on wide gauge track to suit the nature of the contract on which it is to be used. When writing for prices and information, give full particulars as to the work to be done and the kind of material to be handled.

    When introduced in 1964, the all-wheel-drive, 45-ton capacity International 180 Payhauler was unlike anything else on the market. Judging by the terrain behind it, the site is probably the I-80 and Union Pacific Railroad relocations for John Day Dam on the Oregon bank of the Columbia River.
