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?
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.

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!!
Comments?

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.
