Says 1948 112 in the add. Everything works,good tires with chains. I'm definitely not an expert but seems pretty complete. What do the experienced grader guys think.
Add does say pony motor needs rebuild

Appears to have wide rear tires compared to standard .......or maybe it is just the angle of the picture.
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😄

Hi. d2gary.
Lookin' good from way over here on the West coast. Heck, the 'tahrs' that we can see are even fitted the RIGHT way. The chains still being on the rig would seem to indicate that it doesn't get used for much more than snow removal.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

What is being asked for it? Pony could cost 2k to overhaul. Nice cab glass and tires.

Go take it for a spin Gary and see what's loose on it. Deas posted a comprehensive list of things to check on graders so you can take that list with you (and take a video of everything operating and the old-timers will set you straight. Pony motor is not a big deal - easy to fix

I don't know if you are trying to "IN"courage me or discourage me. Man there's a lot of stuff to know on one of these things. I've actually read your post before but it's been awhile thanks for the refresher.

"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."
