By Jim Rose on Friday, January 23, 2015 - 04:23 pm:That was the reason the road commissioner had a fat wife.
By Chad Marchees _____Tax Capital, NY on Friday, January 23, 2015 - 04:38 pm:Wonderful picture. Might be one of the few that I have seen a conversion doing work.
I wonder what the two levers are doing on the grader. I wonder if it is for depth of cut.
By Kenneth W DeLong on Friday, January 23, 2015 - 04:38 pm:It's going to take many years before tractors are comfortable as the model T!! Bud.
By Mike Walker, NW AR on Friday, January 23, 2015 - 07:12 pm:Chad -- The levers adjust the angle of the dangle on the blades.
By Aaron Griffey, Hayward Ca. on Friday, January 23, 2015 - 11:04 pm:Ive seen those graders towed behind horses and tractors.
I think we called them king graders.
They were especially handy for grading muddy roads.
They filled in the ruts and lft the surface flat and smooth to dry in the sun.
By Ken Parker on Saturday, January 24, 2015 - 08:14 am:My profile closely resembles the director of the king grader. Just discovered another job I seem to be exceptionally well qualified for.
Jay, I don't know how you find so many great photos but I certainly look forward to seeing your posts. Thank you so much for the windows into the past.
Ken in Texas
