I am trying to track down a copy of the book that Caterpillar used to print called "Basic Blading" 
Does anyone have a copy they are interested in selling, or do you know of one for sale anywhere? 

Thanks in advance
Nate

Nate, I should have one somewhere, the trick will be to find it. I should have the comic version of grader operation somewhere also.
Might be a few days before I get a chance to look. If I remember it has a tan or light brown cover and is about 30 pages.

Well that wasn't to difficult to find.  Hope this is what you are looking for.  So much for the color as it looks more beige than tan.

Hi Jim,
That looks a very interesting book.
If you are able to scan it, it would make a great addition to the library.

This browser does not support PDFs. Please download the PDF to view it: Download PDF

The booklet is 32 pages and does not have a spine but is merely stapled together so easy to scan.  The scan below is 454 Kb with medium compression (8-1/2 by 11) so the entire book is 0nly about 16 Mb so easily manageable.  Resolution scanned is 150 per inch.  I will try to get it scanned in the next few days.

Nate as to the value, I would donate it to you for being a highly compensated Board of Directors Member.  Might have to smuggle it across the border in a plain brown envelope!!

I remember seeing that when I was on tour in Peoria with ACMOC. I look at it quickly but did not have the time to read it or really absorb what it had to teach. I have been looking to find a copy so thank you for sharing your copy with the club Jim. keep up the great work.
