Tractor/Road Graders

[shaun wallace]

I remember the state running Champion and Dresser motor patrols. Allis called theirs Speed Patrol. Seen a Moline as a grader.

That WD Almer in Kimball might be a really neat small unit for a project on my driveway, db! Price was good too if at ran.
(The clumsy Galion 118 here would do the task after the engine transplant but one false move and I'd look stupid.)
I'd been in contact with a fellow out west with a small Galion with an IH M with 3 or 4 belt drive power.
He likes it! It's neat. Heater core is plugged so a cold cab.
Have a friend a state or so east that's a Huber tractor guru. I should grab the pic and see what he says about it.
I didn't know Huber made any graders, the big one with the Jimmy Diesel must sing its own tune. VROOM!
Neat thread!

After the war blade tractors were a mainstay and used by many paving crews for their compact grading features. Huber ceased in 1984.View attachment 94624View attachment 94625

You never look stupid.
Why you ask?
It’s the company you keep.

Wanna bet? Hehehe!
db4600, your smaller Huber grader pic is early 50's and likely powered with a Hercules.
East friend didn't give model number tho stated it's larger than a B Huber tractor like Frank had. A Whizzer motor bike guy.
The company I keep?
Friends? No. A lesser one disowned me for scientific reasons. A couple greater ones can twist me up and make me think!!
They're cool. Aha, spouse? A different Frank might tell stories like mine... Yikes.
Brother? No, he's really neat. Ya, there's another one like me.
D b or not db, that is the question.
Just joshin' ya.

There it is! A 17-28 tractor mounted Galion grader. Been looking for two days!
