You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
Hi, Snowshoveler.
So, WHY?????????????????????
WHY is it still there???????????? Instead of in your yard already??????????????????????????
Looks pretty good in that photo.
Just my 0.02.
That is a very good question Deas.
My Lady has already given her approval of the possible purchase.
The pics show it to be in usable condition.
I guess it will depend on the price required to purchase it.
I would be okay with 500 dollars maybe.
But you know how this goes...with an unlisted price the owner probably wants 5000 for it.
I could probably make a little cash with it to support the purchase if priced reasonable.
Regards Chris
1898 would be a patent date not the mfg date.
Rubber wheels was a factory option so the unit is not as old as one may be lead to believe cause of the patent date.
We can provide a more accurate mfg date if a serial number could be provided. You are welcome to look here for more info: http://www.chriscomachinery.com/PullGraders.htm
Based on the picture alone I would guess it to be a model 35.
Thank you very much Erik.
I have something to go on now.
Regards Chris
Tbrown42 posted that same grader for sale oct 2018 in sale/wanted section. Several folks told him it was not 1898 but the post had no reply from him. no price there either. You may try a PM to him.
Just go over there with a set of torches, I'll bet he'll show up in two seconds and ask how much you'll give him for it. lol
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
