Sitting right on the side of the road, a buzzsaw beside it has a For Sale sign. This old grader has some bent broken and missing parts. Russel Grader Manuf., any idea how old it is?

Russell was bought by Caterpillar in 1928. I have a Hi-Way Patrol No. 3. I need to find wheels for it. The steel wheels had been cut off for rubber tires and the rims are rotten. If you have a serial number, I might be able to dig up the age range.

Looks very much like the one in my pic. I latched onto this grader at a local antique power show with my W-9 and had an obscene amount of fun with it. Have no idea what brand that grader was, but it was in excellent working order.

Interesting old grader. The 30's sound like a good guess. I would kind of like to have one of these but it would be a hand full for two to use to do my driveway with! I was curious about the shaft going up the frame and tounge and the steering wheel. Wonder if it had some ability to control the pulling tractor? Just curious what the connection at the hitch end looked like.

Chris, the front axel on the grader is steerable so the pull unit can stay to the center of the road and the operator can steer off to the side to do shoulders and ect. I have a Adams, ex colo hiway dept. on it both front and rear axles tilt also . we use it on several miles of road on the ranch. the important thing is to get your hand signals straight with the pull unit driver.

The ones I have seen like that the hitch had a joint in the middle of the tongue the steering wheel controlled the angle of the tongue.

The towns used to have them before the road graders around here. Mine has stuff where the wood pole is on the would've been pulled by horses to. We used to pull it with a tractor and with the blade between the wheels did a better job than the rear blade for up and down, but you needed 2 people. I have used it on a flat drive by setting it and running a pipe through the hand wheels. When I was young my brother or me would ride on and turned the handwheels. We used it quite abit 50 yrs ago and it the wheel hubs were wore out then already. Ours saw lot of work. Brings back memories.
