So did it originally have steel wheels?

Nice looking grader. The front and rear wheels don't appear to be the original wheels but it still looks good!

the front wheels appear to be 40's bud wheels and the rear look to be a much later vintage.
you could always call it a rat rod grader...lol!

The rears seem to be a version of a "Dayton" wheel. CAT did the same thing on the motor graders, but on those powered wheels, they used a solid disk for strength and weight I suppose. Those have 6 spokes instead of the 5 used on "modern" dayton designs. Could be original or nearly that old?
D2-5J's, D6-9U's, D318 and D333 power units, 12E-99E grader, 922B & 944A wheel loaders, D330C generator set, DW20 water tanker and a bunch of Jersey cows to take care of in my spare time:D
