Self-Propelled Grader
![]() |
He spent 2 to 3 years building it in his spare time. "It's powered by an old International 1-cyl. hopper water-cooled engine rated at 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hp. Maxi-mum pulley speed is 500 rpm's. The gearbox is a 6-speed Wheel Horse transaxle, and the wheels also came off a Wheel Horse. The hydraulic pump is at the rear of the machine, powered by a V-belt off the engine.
"The grader has 6 hyd. cylinders. One turns the front wheels, one articulates the tractor, one turns the blade, one side-shifts the blade, and two raise and lower the blade.
"The machine is 9 ft. long and has a 5-ft. blade. It was built from almost all used parts."
