Richier grader .

Well I thought I'd get a bigger response out of that photo than I did, 1466IH. It's not really me or mine, but I got a laugh out of it.

It's just a photo that I found on the interweb. Looks to be a Russian grader maybe. Pretty close to a little Fiat Allis but the sheet metal is different. Maybe it's the same operator that crossed that rope bridge over the river that was posted a couple of months back...

The grader is a French Richier grader , and the operator a teacher of the French operator school .

I have looked to the dates from the 100T, the blade was a bit smaller like the 80T version, the 100T has 7,3 m

Just noticed this topic today. We had one of these big Champion 100T graders working here in north Texas back in the 1980's. A company called Phillips and Jordan, used it while building the Lake Ray Roberts Dam for the COE. It was a monster and took several truckloads to haul it in. Then, they had to assemble it. It was here for maybe 2 years. I don't know where it went to. Wish I had taken photos of it, but never gave it a thought back then.

Hi from Spain.
You are right, because I was there at the Dam when it was built, in January and very cold.
We had to replace the batteries because the engine won't start.
I think I have the movie somewhere, but I don't remember where ..?
I might have left it in Canada.
I will look for it and publish the content ..
Best regards
Delio
