We are in S Central KS and been looking for a scraper for some time now. I am sickened to have missed a 623 at auction for 2700 bucks! I have looked at two 633s fairly local in the last week and both are struggling on tires and a few other issues. One has rust on the main bowl lift cylinders and they are leaking. I tried to explain that is NOT a cheap fix but he still wants a good bit for it. I am trying to hug close to scrap price simply because we are looking for a 70s era machine and they can break to a "beyond repair" state pretty easy.
Both the 633s I looked at had decent necks,m trans, etc but something as simple as tires and get down right expensive and not worth it. We really need an elevating scraper but might consider a push/pull open bowl. Trying to find a good size machine but a 11-12yd would do it if we can buy one right. It really seems like there is more market for the smaller scrapers than the 20+yd scrapers. I really would love to have a 633 but I just cannot urinate on good money. I see a lot of them being advertised for wild prices but cannot find any actually selling.
So I guess if you know of one close enough to us or even cheap enough to justify a distant haul, please let me know. I don't mind throwing a finders fee out there. Would really like to find one soon.
