Hi, Folks.
The guy in the cab in Part 1 seemed to do a LOT of fooling around with the gear lever, even when the starter was turning the engine relatively well and the grader WASN'T trying to move at the same time. Or is it just my tired ol' eyes? LOL.

Otherwise, good videos, both of 'em.

Hi, Folks.
The guy in the cab in Part 1 seemed to do a LOT of fooling around with the gear lever, even when the starter was turning the engine relatively well and the grader WASN'T trying to move at the same time. Or is it just my tired ol' eyes? LOL.

The clutch was stuck and they were trying to get it unstuck. Trying different gears to find one there the starter was strong enough turn the engine and get the clutch unstuck. As seen in the videos they had to resort to using a tractor (A Case) and a later a Dodge to pull the grader while starting it to get the clutch to unstick it self.
