My Model 11 grader project

[SpragueM]

As some know I purchased this grader last Spring. Wasn't quite as good a shape as advertised but that isn't slowing me down.

Have gotten the engine pulled and removed pan. Worked last night to pull the frozen clutch components. This weekend will take out crank.

SpragueM, hows the D4 from the Fling? I remember it was a trip getting home with a blown tire. Nice looking grader by the way.

How detailed do you want to get. I'm taking nearly every bolt out of this thing so I'll have a good idea of what it's got.

I will show a few pictures here and there. Don't know how much I'll be allowed but try and see.

Do you have access to any drafting software? Tell me what you would like to see.

Won't take long to use up storage space at this rate Here's a shot of the RD4 pulling it up the drive.

Cassiano,
Your english is alot better than my Spanish. I can draw it up a piecc at a time and send it to you. I would translate it into DXF. or DWG.

It will be a couple of days before I get started.
