There are a couple of those AC WC graders here. One is owned be the dirt race track.There is a Huber tractor with a blade and an air compressor that sets out on the hyway.A local (private)airport has an M with a 'long nose' and a grader blade. It looks like a tractor with an 'add on'. It is a factory built outfit.A good friend has a small Heil grader built from an W4 IH.The engine has been set on top of the rearend,belt driveing the transmission.Looks like a common ordinary grader,with engine in the back. Has the original factory built cab. Single drive wheels,7.50x20 truck tires on front. All hand controlled.Says his father bought it new in about 1940 in Denver. Took it up to Evergreen where it plowed snow,built roads,worked the familys construction business. He has been 'restoreing' it for about 15 years. But still uses it from time to time as he works at the 'restoration'.Did any other companys make graders from farm tractors?
 
There were WC graders built that did not have the extended frame of the speed patrol. They are pretty rare and highly sought after.
 
Trojan and American Road Equipment Co. made universal grader kits for farm tractors (most commonly fitted to a Farmall "M") and Dearborn Equipment made them for Fords, but with some torches and some extra plate steel and some down-time, I guess you coulda made them fit anything.
 
Sold mine a couple years ago.

In 75 or 76 we took a IH single drive wheel Gallion I think it was on trade, it had a IH gas engine think it was a H or M motor,, it had a cab and was a true motor grader only it did not have tandem drive wheels, this is what i have around here today,, my Uncle wanted this attachment for his Kubota I ordered it in and installed it, for a 40 hp unit it does ok but is sure not a true blade as far as production,,

I get along with it pretty good,, here I was repairing a two track road in one of my pastures
 
I sold a few of those and, the plumbing you have there seemed to heat if one ran it too long. Just too many feet of lines and restrictions. Can,t tell where you are picking up the power from the rear hydraulics or power beyond on the loader but watch your hydraulic oil temperature on hot days. Should run no more than 100 degrees over the outside air temp. I like the wheel weights makes that thing work .
 
I have not noticed any hyd temp spike since installing it,, I did hook right into what would call the power beyond,, but I will take my temp gun with me next time and check it,, this tractor is hydrostatic and has a cooler as well, I should for sure blow out it and the radiator with all the dust the belly blade adds,, I feel the main hyd lines at times and so far never seen a issue but will watch closer now,,
 
Case Nutty We soon learned they seem to work better going from the PB but we also went to larger fittings ever where. I know I have one out on a hydro not sure what the other one is. You are in that the hydro tractors have a hydraulic cooler but the hydro also builds heat. Just watch it and you will be OK. Like you say they are not a grader but do a better job than a pure box blade.
