This has been remade for sure, I remember seeing one of these when I was a kid on my grandpa's farm, it had metal wheels, he maintained some of the old gravel and dirt roads during the war and up into the early 50's #7878895

Thank you very much Bobby, Tammy, John and Ron!
Yes, Ron this grader has been modified using parts from the later motorized graders so it would float better in our wet winter weather. #7879142

You put together some great shots Denny, you wouldn't happen to have some shots of an old HD-16 or a TD-20, that's what I use to operate. Beautiful work.
