Found this thing in my travels the other day . Appears to be some kind of old grader . Any ideas about it . Wonder how old it might be ?

Not sure how old but they pulled them that I saw with tractors and horses. I've seen that but don't remember where. for age looks in good shape.

that aint no wreck that baby is in prime condition for is old as it is 40s-50s

I'm going to guess that one could be teens or even twenties.

It is a nice one with tilt on the blade and the back wheels appear to have tilt also.

They were made by a lot of different companies including such notables as Cat, AC and Galion.

There are still a few in service mostly out west maintaining ranch roads.

Here is one on eBay--I don't expect that one to sell at that price.

Nice picture! That would make a good HDR photo. Do you do any HDR photography?

 

[171farm]

I agree that is a neat looking machine. An HDR would be awesome with a little different background/angle

I would like to have one of those I collect old tractors and that would be something nice at the shows behind my old 2 cylinder JD..

those for a shop project a while back.Looked amazing!
