Made from components from 1970's vintage International Harvester Cub Cadet garden tractors, this motor grader is fully functional and fun to use. Both rear axles are driven, the front axle has power steering and the hydraulics are driven by the charge pump in the hydrostatic drive of the front axle. Total weight is approximately 2000 lbs with fluid filled tires. Power is provided by a Cub Cadet's original (rebuilt) Kohler K301 12 hp single-cylinder air-cooled engine.
COMMENTS: I operated heavy equipment. in my entire life and i have never seen anyone build something this amazing!, you sir are absolutely a genius!!. You'll do a much better job with a blade between the tires than with a blade in the back of the tractor!. This guy should get an award for that!. Great job in the making!
I am a senior mechanic and heavy equipment operator. What you do is better than most factory small graders! Fantastic quality. Thanks again for sharing your amazing machines and engineering exhibit!
