Sent a copy of the case scraper ad to a young friend of mine who is a sales rep for titan equipment selling case construction equipment. He sent it to someone in the corporate office telling him he need three for a customer. The guy laughed and sent him some history. According to him case made the first self-propelled scraper and sold it to caterpillar. He also claims case made a motor grader and sold it to cat. Can anyone verify this.
 
the S-20 was a 1960 product release,, as you will see in the link Euclid started building them right after WW 2 ,, Case did sell the patent rights to a tilt dozer to Cat, Case also sold their "W" series wheel loaders through Cat until Cat had sufficient time to design their own

Highly doubtful on that stuff. Cat bought out Russell in 1928 who had been making self propelled graders since about 1920 using modified tractors. Cat then introduced the Auto Patrol in 1931 which by most accounts was the first true dedicated self propelled road grader using a unified design instead of modifying a farm tractor. Also Letourneau was a pioneer in the earthmoving business and is credited for making the first self propelled scrapers in the 20s and 30s.
