Got this little guy a few years ago and took it to the Threshermans show and ended up putting it in their shed til I could get time to work on it. Used it a lot grading their grounds roads before the shows, so wasn't in a hurry to get it back home. Now I need to fix a flat tire, and see what is wrong with the starter. Not sure what all else it will need.
Here are a few pix of it.
The D is a handy size for small areas and will do some serious grading for as small as it is.

simple but effective and can get into tight spots..why can't they make stuff simple like that anymore..it'l probably work all day on 10gal of regular gas

Got the grader home,----AND they left it sit outside so the motor filled up with water and stuck the pistons. Cant get the pan off without taking the motor out but I did get the head off so far.
It had 3 gallons of water in the oil pan and I dont know how many times it froze up in there, so the bottom end is probably messed up.
When I loaned it to them, the deal was that it would always be parked under a roof of some kind. It ended up outside instead and they said it wouldnt start so they just left it out!
NEVER again will anybody use my equipment.

Head off and I been soaking the pistons with $6. a gallon diesel fuel! lol! --- anyway motor gonna have to come out to work on it!
