Champion compact graders built an underground model, and I think Cat has one as well.

Yes, there are CAT underground graders, but Cat has not own underground graders, but they have a deal with some firms which rebuilt them.

Thanks for the pictures, yes Wright is one of a manufacturer which rebuilt Cat graders for underground.

Looks like a pretty tricky sort of setup... very cool though.

I stumbled upon an underground grader by accident. Brandt is a Deere dealer here in western Canada. They have this listed- maybe they are rebuilding them using John Deere components as well?

I read that they use a Noram Grader.

I only know that the Noram Grader is a modern version from a FG 65 Fiat Allis Grader.
