1. Caterpillar 772B Marker
This 1990 Caterpillar 772B was part of the last fleet of cane haulers at the Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company's Puunene mill, which closed in 2016. At auction, the Cat sold with 54,584 miles on it. In an act of preservation, Clive and Pearl Drew purchased the hauler, knowing that it was important to keep on Maui. The Drew's donated it to the Sugar Museum in 2018.
