I'll trade you a 1962 Austin-Western AND a 1964 Galion for it.
Nice machine!

Mitch, you wish. These pictures are actually taken from video footage I have and was able to pause it and use a snapshot application to get the stills, thats why the quality isn't very good. Hoping to get a new grader before to long.

I'm looking at that blade rotation box and I'm instantly wondering if they have put in a slip clutch yet? I had to keep on running in a past life and they used a shear pin on the pinion gear. Needless to say that worked about as well as a blind man with contact lenses.

I'm also wondering if they ever started putting oil in the front wheel bearings are are they still using wheel bearing grease?

It's a great looking machine. However looks don't make any money on machines.

I am running a 2002 model komatsu gd 530 (a rebadged Dresser I think), and it has a slip clutch, not sure what the wheel bearing setup is, but a seal was replaced at about 8000 hrs.
