Can anybody tell me the brand name of this little guy? [attachment=72757]020.JPG[/attachment] [attachment=72758]021.JPG[/attachment] [attachment=72759]022.JPG[/attachment] [attachment=72760]023.JPG[/attachment]

I thought it might go well behind the R2.

It looks like a new improved copy of something the neighbor called a tumble bug scraper.https://www.acmoc.org/bb/discussion-d72/30902-off-topic-but-i-would-like-to-know#249316 Which is a improvement of a old Fresno scraper. So I think Dan needs some credit for giving half the name.

It is basically a 4' tumble bug with an apron and wheels. Not home made. Came from west central Neb. Some flash in the pan company some where put them out for a little while.

That thing is CUTE! I say (we say) you should get it. Whether you put it to work or yard art is another story. Keep us posted. JM

A Duplex at work.  At one time Duplex made a pull type grader for the "20" Caterpillar I believe. They were located near Carter Lake in East Omaha.

Testimonials

"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."
