Cat C18 Tractor Engine. The tractor for the 631G and 637G is powered by the C18 engine with ACERT™ Technology. The large displacement and high torque rise provides optimal performance in the load, cut, haul and return. Matched to the high efficiency torque converter and electronically controlled power shift transmission, it will provide years of dependable service.
Cat C9 Scraper Engine. The 637G has a C9 engine with ACERT technology that provides additional power to assist in loading as well as improve hauling performance on grades.
ACERT Technology. Caterpillar optimizes engine performance while meeting U.S. EPA Tier 3 and European Union Stage IIIa regulations. ACERT Technology reduces emissions during the combustion process by using advanced technology in the air and fuel systems, in conjunction with integrated electronics. Caterpillar meets emission regulations at the combustion source rather than recycling exhaust gases.
Dual Horsepower. Cat engines have dual horsepower capability with the low power setting in torque converter drive and the high power setting in direct drive. If the auger is engaged while the machine is in torque converter drive, the machine automatically goes to the high power setting.
Electronic unit injector
Mechanical Electronic Unit Injection (MEUI). The MEUI system with variable
shaped injection patterns provides for optimum combustion based on altitude and temperature. The Cat MEUI fuel system is a highly evolved fuel system with a proven record of reliability in the field. The system combines the technical advancement of an electronic control system with the simplicity of direct mechanically controlled unit fuel injection pressure. These features allow the C18 to completely control injection timing, duration and pressure.
Electronic Control Module. The ECM responds to operator commands and engine sensor input to optimize engine and machine performance. This advanced engine management software controls and protects the engine at all times against cold starts, high altitude operations and air filter plugging by monitoring:
• injection timing and pressure
• engine cooling fan speed
• ether starting aid
• hydraulic pumps
4
A combination of innovations working at the point of combustion, ACERT™ technology optimizes engine performance while meeting regulations for off-road applications.

Power Train – Engine

Page 5
ADEM A4 Control Module. Controls
engine rpm by adjusting the fuel duration, which results in quicker starts in hot and cold weather, better fuel economy, better operator response, and automatic compensation for altitude and filter plugging.
Reduced Exhaust Smoke. The ADEM A4 controller monitors electronic sensors to determine the optimum fuel/air ratio. Fuel is precisely controlled during cranking, starting and acceleration to reduce smoke. The Engine Electronics are faster and more efficient than mechanically controlling the governor rack position.
Ether Starting Aid. The ADEM A4 controller activates the ether injection system during engine cranking to enhance cold weather starting.
Control Throttle Shifting (CTS).
Automatically synchronizes engine speed to transmission speed during shifting to reduce power train stress and increase component life. In addition it results in a smoother ride for the operator.
Directional Shift Management.
Regulates engine speed to prevent damage caused by high-speed directional changes.
Low Battery Elevated Idle. The ADEM A4 controller automatically compensates for low alternator output at low idle by raising the rpm for brief intervals to keep the batteries fully charged.
Altitude Compensation. The system de-rates fuel delivery as a function of barometric pressure as sensed by the system’s atmospheric pressure sensor. No manual adjustment is required. Auto deration prevents excessive combustion temperatures that could result in component damage.
Diagnostic Capability. Cat®Electronic Technician (Cat ET) is used to display real-time pressures, temperatures, fuel settings and diagnostic messages as well as a historical information such as engine over-speeds, overheating, low oil pressure and air filter restriction events.
Fuel Economy. Electronic controls optimize the timing setting for varying load conditions. The ADEM A4 controller matches timing to the load on the engine, engine rpm and temperature.
Air Filter Restriction. ADEM A4 controller monitors air filter restriction and sends a warning message to the Electronic Monitoring System (EMS III) to alert the operator if the restriction exceeds the allowable limit.
Scraper Electrical Harness. A ribbon wiring harness replaced the cable harness for improved wear and durability. Its greater flexibility oscillates better with machine movement, and polyurethane boots offer better protection against the elements.
Automatic Belt Tensioning. Both the tractor and scraper engines have automatic belt tensioning rather than manual tensioning. The number of belts has been reduced to two on the tractor, and two on the scraper. Fan drive bearings on both the tractor and scraper engines with ACERT®technology eliminate servicing requirements.
One-Piece Power Block. The jumpstart receptacle and disconnect switch are integrated into one-piece power block that provides better electrical integrity and serviceability. The disconnect switch with lockable cover locks out all power for servicing.
NGMR Engine Cooling System.
The standard radiator for the tractor is the Next Generation Modular Radiator (NGMR), which features 9 fins per inch rather than 33 fins per inch found on previous models. The increased radiator fin spacing for both the tractor and the scraper reduces clogging in severe applications. Two-piece service doors improve access to clean out debris.
Scraper Radiator. The scraper has a brazed aluminum core scraper radiator with composite tanks featuring 9 fins per inch.
Extended Oil Change Interval. Oil change intervals in both the C18 and C9 engines can be extended to 500 hours with the use of S•O•SSManalysis.

Transmission. Electronically controlled Caterpillar planetary powershift transmission with eight forward and one reverse speed. Tractor gears 1 and 2 operate in converter drive for increased torque capability during cut and fill operations. Gears 3-8 operate in direct­drive for drive train efficiency during the haul. All scraper gears operate in converter drive for increased torque capability during the cut and fill.
Synchronized Scraper Transmission.
The scraper transmission is electronically controlled by the tractor transmission, synchronizing the scraper transmission gear selection with that of the tractor transmission. The scraper transmission cannot be shifted manually. A neutral/run switch, located in the cab, allows the operator to disengage the scraper transmission.
Planetary Design. Provides larger contact area between gears than countershaft transmissions for greater load-carrying capacity.
Transmission Hold. Incorporated into the joystick controller, Transmission Hold allows the operator to maintain converter drive for increased rimpull, or hold the current gear for enhanced control.
Programmable Top Gear Selection.
Allows the operator to manually set the top gear (3rd–8th) available to match conditions or to match the hauling speed of the fleet to specific job-site needs.
Retarder. The hydraulic retarder can be used to slow the ground speed of the machine when entering the cut or fill area to allow the transmission to downshift. It also reduces service brake wear and enhances machine control.
Differential Control. Electronic differential lock helps prevent the drive wheels from spinning in poor underfoot conditions. The operator engages the differential lock with a foot control located in the cab.
Neutral Coast Inhibitor. Prevents the transmission from shifting into neutral if the operator selects neutral while moving. The transmission control will select the proper gear for the given engine rpm and ground speed.
Final Drives. Outboard-mounted, planetary design final drives reduce torque loads on other power train components. Large-capacity, double-row roller bearings and Caterpillar Duo-Cone
®
seals deliver exceptional reliability in the toughest applications.
Independent Brake Systems. Expanding­shoe type brakes use a cam-operated design, which is air-applied and spring released. The secondary braking system uses independent front and rear circuits that are automatically applied if the service air pressure drops to 380 kPa (55 psi). Audible and visual action alert indicators inform the operator when the service air pressure drops to 518 kPa (75 psi).
Parking Brakes. The push-button operated parking brake features a spring­applied, air-released mechanism that operates the service brakes.
Steering. Full hydraulic power steering provides automotive feel with positive, modulated flow control for constant steering response. An optional secondary steering system is ground-driven and provides hydraulic power for steering if needed.

Cushion Hitch. The electronically actuated cushion hitch incorporates a parallelogram-type linkage for exceptional strength. Twin nitrogen accumulators help deliver a smooth ride for enhanced operator comfort.
• cushion hitch lock down control for positive cutting edge down pressure when loading or spreading
• controlled oil flow dampens rebound oscillation
• leveling valve automatically centers piston in cylinder for all loads
• steel castings are used extensively to eliminate many welded joints and increase strength
• double-kingbolt design withstands high external forces and simplifies installation and removal
Nitrogen Accumulators. Vertically mounted hydraulic cylinder transfers road shocks to nitrogen accumulators. They absorb and dampen road shocks, thus reducing loads from being transmitted to the operator.
Lockout Switch. An operator-selectable lockout switch, located on the joystick, locks the cushion hitch for improved control of the cutting edge during loading and dumping.

• Adjustable 102 mm (4 in.) fore/aft and 203 mm (8 in.) vertical height to accommodate various sized operators.
• Static seat belt is standard. A retractable non-cinching seat belt is available as an option.
Seat Suspension. The new standard seat suspension features a high performance air shock absorber with a self-contained air compressor. For operators requiring additional damping, dual shock absorbers in the seat suspension are available.
Revised Steering Column. Increases legroom a full 89 mm (3.5 in.), and reduces knee contact.
Standard Air Conditioning. Standard air conditioning system with relocated louvers enhances airflow in the cab.
Storage And Amenities. Convenient storage location includes space for a lunch box and first aid kit. The cab also has a cup holder as well as an ashtray.
Visibility. The redesigned hood has sloped corners to maximize visibility while accommodating the low emissions engine.
The redesigned hood and front shroud are wider to enclose the air-to-air aftercooler (ATAAC), ether starting aid, and lights. The exhaust is located at the back of the hood for good visibility to the right side.
Instrument Display Panel. Features a new quad-gauge layout showing engine coolant temp, transmission/torque converter oil temp, fuel level, and system air pressure. The 637G tachometer can monitor either front or rear engine speeds. Once the 637G tractor engine has been started, the operator can start the rear engine from inside the cab using a switch on the instrument panel. EMS III can display both front and rear engine information right in the cab.
Logical Control Placement. Placing only frequently used switches and indicator lights on the instrument panel, and less frequently used switches on the overhead console, improves efficiency and reduces reaching.

Simplified System. The electrical system has been redesigned to utilize three electronic control modules (ECM) on the tractor instead of four. The rear­powered scraper now has two ECMs rather than three.
Air Filter Restrictor Indicator.
The ADEM A4 controller monitors air filter restriction. If the restriction exceeds the allowable limit, it alerts the operator by sending a message to the Electronic Monitoring System (EMS III).
Automatic Ether Injection. The ADEM A4 controller activates the ether injection system during engine cranking to enhance cold weather starting.
Automatic Altitude Compensation.
At high altitudes the system automatically de-rates fuel delivery as a function of barometric pressure sensed by the system’s atmospheric pressure sensor.
Low Battery Elevated Idle. The ADEM A4 controller automatically compensates for low alternator output at low idle by raising the rpm for brief intervals to keep the batteries fully charged.
Improved Serviceability. Combined monitoring systems, easy access diagnostics and more durable components make routine maintenance and servicing simple and fast.
Combined EMS Monitoring.
The Electronic Monitoring System (EMS III) is designed to monitor both the tractor and scraper from one location instead of two. Both the tractor and powered scraper use the same controller for parts commonality and easier servicing.
Easy Access Diagnostics. A variety of diagnostic codes are accessible through the EMS main display module, via the Electronic Technician (Cat ET). This offers a head start on problem solving, so with a radio call the service technician can know which tools, troubleshooting guides, and possibly even replacement parts to bring to the machine.
Greater Reliability. The EUI system has fewer moving parts than mechanical unit injection and requires few adjustments. The ADEM A4 controller communicates with the monitoring system (EMS) to warn the operator when problems arise, to help avoid major damage.
Maintenance. EUI engines have virtually no mechanically controlled parts to wear or adjust. These have been replaced by electronic controls, reducing maintenance costs and increasing machine availability.
Product Link. Product Link is a wireless system that allows the customer to track machine data such as location, service meter hours as well as machine health information. The system can automatically issue alerts when the machine is operated beyond owner­defined time and location limits.
Product Link is available as a factory attachment or it may be installed in the field in that there is a mounting location for the module as well as an antenna on the machine. A wiring breakout is standard, eliminating the need to splice into existing wires.
Fuel Economy. Electronic controls optimize the timing setting for varying conditions. The ADEM A4 controller matches timing to the load on the engine, engine rpm and temperature.
Reduced Exhaust Smoke. The ADEM A4 controller monitors electronic sensors to determine the optimum fuel/air ratio. Fuel is precisely controlled during cranking, starting and acceleration to reduce smoke. The Engine Electronics are faster and more efficient than mechanically controlling the governor rack position.

Electronic Controls

Integrated electronic controls provide smooth, consistent shifts through the synchronization of engine and transmission speeds.
Page 11
Redesigned Bowl. The redesigned bowl minimizes falling material lodging between the bowl and the draft arm, which can result in premature wear. The modifications also provide better load retention on level ground or traversing down a grade. Bowl capacity has been increased by 3 yd3(2.3 m3), allowing more material to be moved.
• Low-profile bowl design offers less resistance to incoming materials.
• Cellular construction adds strength and dent resistance to bowl sides and floor.
Bulldozer Ejection System. Cat bulldozer ejection system offers constant spreading control with minimal material carry back. A spill guard helps retain material and keep it from spilling over onto the rear of the scraper (standard on tandem engine scrapers, optional on single engine open bowl scrapers).
Cutting Edges. May be adjusted according to job conditions. The stinger (drop down) position provides good penetration and efficient flow of material into the bowl, whereas the level cutting edge is used for finish work or very high impact conditions.
Ground Engaging Tools. A wide variety of Cat Ground Engaging Tools (GET) options such as standard, serrated, and abrasion resistant material (ARM), are available to optimize scraper loading in various materials. For example, ARM scraper cutting edges and router bits will provide up to five times the wear life of conventional edges and router bits in high wear, low impact applications. Depending on applications, the serrated cutting edge may be more cost effective than the integrated tooth cutting edge.
Tandem Engine. Two engines ensure the power to handle steep grades, and makes possible all wheel drive to handle soft, slippery underfoot conditions.
Dual Horsepower. On the tandem engine scraper, the rear engine has dual horsepower capability that results in better performance on the haul roads.
Material Application. Well suited to handle a wide variety of material from clay to shot rock.
Push-Loading. To achieve maximum productivity, the 631G should be push loaded by a D9R or D10R Track-Type Tractor. The larger tractor offer quicker loading times with denser loads than the smaller tractor.

Push-Pull Attachment . This optional arrangement concentrates the combined horsepower of two machines onto one cutting edge. The push-pull attachment allows two individual machines to act as a self-loading system, typically loading both machines in less than a minute.
Flexible Fleet. This system provides a more balanced, flexible fleet using fewer machines and less investment than comparable self-loading or push­loading systems.
Hydraulically Actuated Bail. The push­pull arrangement uses a hydraulically actuated bail and cushioned plate bolted to the front of the tractor, and a hook that is attached to the rear of the scraper. There is an actuator indicator light on the dash that will turn on when the trigger is engaged to actuate the push-pull bail or auger.

Push-Pull Arrangement (637G only)

Caterpillar offers a self-loading arrangement for the 637G.
Typical push-pull operation using twin 627G machines.
Page 13
Versatility. The auger has a wide material appetite ranging from rock to free flowing material such as sand.
Auger Mechanism. The auger lifts material off of the cutting edge, conditions it and carries it to the top of the load for true self-loading capability. Material is distributed evenly throughout the bowl, resulting in consistent loads.
Material Handling. The auger actions on the material produce several benefits:
• wide material appetite, ideal for landfills
• blends the material to help eliminate voids in the bowl for consistent payloads
• conditions material for precise metering and better compaction in the fill
• reduces dust and noise during loading
Dual Horsepower. Tractor engine automatically reverts to the higher setting when the auger motor is engaged.
Slip Limiter Switch. Prevents rear wheel spin during loading.
Hydraulic System. Single hydraulic system for entire machine with separate implement pumps/valves simplifies maintenance and improves reliability.
Implement Valve Relocation.
The implement valve has been relocated from the tractor to the top of scraper draft tube. The result is fewer hoses and tubes that cross over the gooseneck, and fewer potential leak points. The relocation also improved access to the implement valve for better serviceability.
Electro-hydraulic Controls. The 637G features full electro-hydraulic controls, which simplify serviceability and reduce noise by replacing the cab pilot valves with a single-lever joystick control. The high efficiency oil filter provides cleaner oil for the pilot system.
Full-flow Circuits. The hydraulic system features closed-loop, full-flow hydraulic circuits powered by gear-type and piston-type pumps.
Apron. Prevents material spillage and retains fine material far better than an elevating scraper.

Grouped Service Points. Maintenance and service points for the engine are grouped on the right-hand side for easy access. They include the engine air cleaner, engine oil check and fill, fuel filters and priming, coolant level sight glass, window washer bottle, air conditioning dryer cartridge, ether starting aid canister, engine oil filter, fan drive lubrication, and sampling ports for the engine oil and coolant.
• Spin-on fluid filters for all but the main hydraulic filter
• Cab wiring harness redesigned and relocated for better serviceability
Two-Piece Service Doors. The tractor has a standard two-piece door on the right side, which allows better access to service points. The hood is hinged on the front and has spring struts, so the hood easily swings open towards the front of the machine. This allows better access to those areas located on top of the engine.
Electronic Monitoring System (EMS III).
Monitors both the tractor and scraper from one location instead of two. Both the tractor and powered scraper use the same controller for parts commonality and easier servicing.
Electro-Hydraulic Implement Control.
Simplifies serviceability by removing the cab pilot valve and associated lines, which also improves reliability and reduces noise. The high efficiency oil filter provides cleaner oil for the pilot system.
Electronic Technician. The Caterpillar Electronic Technician (Cat ET) Service Tool is useful in troubleshooting existing problems or identifying potential problems by displaying:
• Real-time pressures, temperatures, fuel settings and diagnostic messages
• Historical data such as engine over­speeds, overheating, low oil pressure and air filter restriction events
• More detailed information to the service technician who can access Cat ET via a laptop computer
Easy Access Diagnostics. A variety of diagnostic codes are accessible through the EMS main display module, via the Electronic Technician (Cat ET). This offers a head start on problem solving, so with a radio call the service technician can know which tools, troubleshooting guides, and possibly even replacement parts to bring to the machine.

Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull
To determine gradeability performance: Read from gross weight down to the percent of total resistance. Total resistance equals actual percent grade plus 1% for each 9 kg/t (20 lb/ton) of rolling resistance. From this weight-resistance point, read horizontally to the curve with the highest obtainable gear, then down to maximum speed. Usable rimpull will depend upon traction available and weight on drive wheels.
Retarding
To determine retarding performance: Read from gross weight down to the percent effective grade. (Effective grade equals actual percent grade minus 1% for each 9 kg/t (20 lb/ton) of rolling resistance). From this weight-effective grade point, read horizontally to the curve with the highest obtainable speed range, then down to maximum descent speed the retarder can properly handle.
