My Model 11 grader project

My Model 11 grader project was created by 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.

Hi SpragueM!
This is a great project! I think Auto Patrol #11 a beautifull grader.
I need to help! I am from Brasil and here there isnt this machine. I never saw a Auto Patrol in live!
I want to construct this machine in scale but I heve some dimensions. I would like to know if is possible you send a photos or some dimensios of chassis.
Thanks for help me

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.
