Here a video from an interesting grader with tracks, model 20, sad that video is short, but nice to see it in action 😊

I have a book about Russell Grader with lots of photos with old graders, there are some of the tracked types too to see.

That looks like Dave Wintermute from NJ.

Those are called Motor Patrols
A ten, Fifteen, twenty and twenty eight were made by Cat
Russell used several power units to make theirs: McCormick Deering (No. 2,3) and Holt (No. 4,5)
Cletrac (No. 5) Caterpillar Fifteen (No. 6)

See James Lenoards (below) from the 2012 National Show in Bowling Green OH.

Hi, Graderfan.
As I understand it, Russell made these attachments to suit Cat Fifteen and Twenty tractors plus, as Chriscokid mentioned, several tractors from other manufacturers. They also used wheeled tractors from several manufacturers to build self-propelled dedicated graders around. I believe the practice of using other manufacturer's tractor to build graders on stopped when or shortly after Caterpillar bought Russell out in 1928.

Just my 0.02.
