Thanks for sharing sandy! I see they extended the moldboard out a bit lol. I would really like to give one of those a try, just to say I did. I think one of our members (plowking) actually gave one of these (or similar to) a whirl. Ahh..back in the days where men were men and women were men..lol

I had the pleasure as a kid of running something similar. At that time I thought i had the world by the tail! Was lots of fun on a warm sunny day. Memorable moments tho when you hit a rock in the shoulder of the road!

Gotta share this experience with a adams pull grader. It was 1970 and we were rebuilding a mile of road and then it started....... rain every day for two weeks. All the new equipment we had would not function in all that mud so my pop says boys go get that adams pull grader and hook her up to the D7 17A. So like good sons we did I got to drive the cat and my brother the adams.... man we were ...

Great story grandpa. After reading it I can remember my Dad telling me not to sit on the seat for that very reason! He pulled it with a John Deere D as we we're just dragging roads. As a teen I ran a 1956 D7 17A with a #70 scraper. What a sweet combo that was. Hard to beat for trimming in the day. Neither the Deere or the 17 could be held responsible for hearing issues, that came later with turbos and screamin' jimmies! I'm...

It's probably something we should make better use of. I've used it once or twice, and it does work, at least it did on those occasions. When it didn't work, we got it fixed pretty quickly. On other forums with the chat feature, someone will somtimes make a post saying &quot;I'm in the chat room now&quot;, and people will go there because they know somebody is there.

Looks like a Galion., but back then, pull graders were a dime a dozen. That medallion on the side should have the manufacturers name. May be a British make, or even an Australian one.
