Abstract
A scraper having a frame with a first removable sidewall removably coupled to the frame, a second removable sidewall removably coupled to the frame, a rear bucket pivotally coupled to the frame and having a dump position and a carry position, the rear bucket comprising a first rear sidewall positioned on a first side of the rear bucket and a second rear sidewall positioned on a second side of the rear bucket. Wherein, the first removable sidewall is positioned adjacent to the first rear sidewall and the second removable sidewall is positioned adjacent to the second rear sidewall. Further wherein, as the rear bucket transitions between the carry position and the dump position, the first and second removable sidewalls move relative to the surface of the corresponding first and second rear sidewalls.
