Nice find. Too bad you don't have the rest of it. No idea on value. Whatever one is willing to pay I guess.
True dat, I’m actually posting for someone else, it was owned by his late mother.
Correct me if I am wrong. The #10 Motor Patrol was powered by a TEN crawler. This appears to be a towed machine.

Hi, Deebo.
As I understand it, the Motor Patrol and the Auto Patrol were two different critters. The Auto Patrols were self-propelled with their own engine and drive train and powered controls. The Motor Patrols were designed to have one of the Cat gas crawlers of the time 'walk' into the frame to provide the power for the grader frame and were numbered according to the crawler they were designed for.
I think the larger unit on the far side of my third photo above is a Motor Patrol.
Hope this helps.
Just my 0.02..
I think someone grabbed the Ten out from under the grader. The rear wheels do not look right and appear to be on a solid axle that does not lean.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
