I build driveways and need a grader, which Texans call a maintainer. I located a 1965 Fiat Allis model D with a gas motor that recently got new pistons, rings and sleeves. The seller is retiring.
It has a rear main seal leak so he ordered rod & main bearings plus a rear seal. It's not clear why he'd do bearings again, unless he didn't replace them with pistons/sleeves, which seems silly. I had trouble understanding him over the phone.
2 questions:
1) is that a good starter grader? He says he gets parts from easily enough.
2) can a 6'6" man drive one comfortably? I'm going to see it tomorrow.
