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.
