A year or two ago, my uncle finally gave in to his friends pleas, and sold him this grader. He bought this grader second hand years ago, back in the 70's, and the back wheels are chain driven. It is a britstand or some name like that, apparently british built. His friend has put in another engine, fixed hydraulic lines, etc, but says they can't find anything on the net about it. Truth be told, he is in his early 70's, his son is in his 40's, and I have a feeling that although his son looked on the net, he may not be too skilled with finding his way around the net. I wouldn't be suprised if they just typed "britstand" into google and that was it.
I have been very busy fixing my uncles old house, so I haven't been around to see this bloke for a while, but when I do I will try and see if he can get a model name/number off any plates that may be on it. They don't know how much oil should be in the gear box, coz they started it up after they replaced the original engine with a truck engine, and it squirted oil out of the gearbox. These guys are seriously knowledgeable with repairing all sorts of gear, and have already done quite a bit on it, but with no information on the machine, they are in the dark sometimes.
I would appreciate advice from anyone who has had or worked on these graders. But of course, I will find out the model number and post it once I visit them again.
