I think the development of hydraulic motors was still in it's infancy back in 69'. It is amazing how far equipment technology has progressed in my lifetime. But you are right, I have not seen two hydraulic cylinders configured like that to develop high torque rotational movement. The valving must be interesting.

Next up: "Grading a mountain because it's too high" Soo after seeing that weld job, maybe Andrew reads this (I am a commercial welder)... You should just wirebrush the paint off the metal, then tack it on the inside, then take an angle grinder, grind a V groove about 60% depth to still have some material and fracture on fracture contact for alignment. Fill the groove then do the same from the other side, completely delete the crack with the grinder, fill and finish. Better than factory :)

The most important thing you need for that grader is a new set of cutting edges and end bits. And don’t forget new bolts and nuts for them, those are probably so old you’ll break most of them.

Looks like a great buy. I spent some time running a Cat 12G back in the late 70s. Such a great tool for roads, building pads, you name it.

These roads you are building are turning into solid and smooth ways of transport. Looking really good!

One thing about a grader, you will find every big rock embedded in the road. Once you get the first few passes up and down the road, you will have a really nice road. With your crusher you should be able to make finer gravel to spread on the road for a top coat.

Hey Andrew, another great video! Just wanted to say a quick thanks for all the work you put into the content. I’m always looking forward to a new upload from you. Cheers!!!

Hi Andrew, your job is already on another level, and those of us who have seen you for years value that. You have progressed a lot! It's excellent your equipment and experience for different works. Thank you very much for your videos!

It’s a nice looking old machine. Not many like it are still in that good of shape. Remember not to crank hard turns with the diffs locked ✌️

If you angle the blade as far as you can and try for full contact, that length is the the length of cut from front to back. That is what flattens out a washboards and cuts somewhat easier at times. Give it a try. Hope you make an epic video of the grader makeover with paint and sandblasting, etc. Great video with your dad (I assume that's your dad)

Austin Western Super 200, I operated a 1973 model which appears very similar to yours except for a few subtle changes to the cab. They were solid machines and in many respects way ahead of their time ,The all wheel drive , rear steering and full 360 degree circle rotation were advanced for that time. Once you get used to using the circle shift you can grade steep side slopes to the side of the machine .I'm sure this is going to be a good addition to your fleet.

Now you're able to edge and trim the roads so they are looking in a finished condition. In the early days I was wishing that you had a grader, even a simpler one that would even out some of the bumps of the dirt and first rocks that you applied. The first roads that you put in cutting down through the raw dirt, and in the wintertime too, made it an effort to get the proper grade but with just enough slant for rain run-off. Remembering the times when you brought in a travel trailer or utility trailer and the traversing the grounds were interesting to say the least. It was nice and fun to watch you improve some of the features of the machine while also finding out that you had a dirty gem there instead of something you had to take back. A little spit and polish would seem to be in order here so you can be proud. Another fine addition to your fleet of equipment. And you seemed impressed by the Bronco that your friend drove on some of your roads. For you to make a statement like "maybe I'll get one of these" means a lot coming from you about new vehicles! I like them too since I've seen them on another channel by someone else in UTAH.

I also used to love watching them use their new toy at the time, which was a Gradeall.

Was gonna make the same comment and, additionally, that the grader should always be driven straight down the middle of the road, where it is most level, not on one side and then the other side of the road, because that tilts the machine towards that side. So, always drive the grader straight down the middle of the road, and move the blade (not the grader) to one side or the other of the road, making sure that one never has the blade leaving the material where the wheels will be running.

It's an enormous machine but certainly does the job. Hope you have many happy and productive years using it. Xx

You are truly Beginners, I spent 30 years on a Finish Blade, first you have to get both ends of the blade in the dirt, second you need to square your blade so all of your rear tires are on the blading surface, dont run your tires on the berm, because the tractor will go up and down as you blade the road, its most important to generate a berm that way you can roll it back and forth until you get the surface you want, after you get the surface you want and you still have a berm, you can loose the berm on the crown or the high side of a turn

Love this latest addition to the fleet. Buying this grader for $7500 with most everything working on it was a major score. It is sure to come in handy on the mountain, or any job you take it to. One of my fondest memories of childhood was standing out at the head of our driveway with my younger brother, watching the county road grader run up and down the gravel road we lived on (and getting the driver to wave back to us).

Soooo good to see you finally getting a grader! I’d given up on you!😊the blade is too far extended and every time you hit a rock it shifts the machine because of the leverage. You guys just need more practice 😊You’re gonna have to do at least 10 sweeps to spread the gravel out evenly before you start rolling it. It looks like it’s wet enough to compact well, but you’ll need to really keep grading it quite a bit to get it smooth.

That was a fun video to watch thank you Andrew. If you want a good flat, smooth road then you just can't beat a grader. It is the only machine for the job. I'm looking forward to getting the right hand drive shaft back in my little Alis Chalmers D grader and getting back to work with it.

Geez, you're not gonna make many friends telling Camarta what to do. Loads of his fans class him as the authority.

I find it interesting that the grader has a Detroit for a motor. You have to wind that motor up to make it go. Detroits have a very unique exhaust tone to them. You can always tell when a truck or piece of equipment has a Detroit motor in it!

Top notch video. Thank you. Your attention to detail is a lesson not just for my kids, but for me as well. One request: please include more high flying drone footage. Seeing that land reminds me of The Last of the Mohicans... the next book for my kids

Can’t wait for you to service it! I thought for sure you’d be doing it in this episode. You usually do a service before you use something but it was in such good shape . all right thanks

I'm thinking I'm not alone but it would be great to see you restored this tractor back to looking new again, with sand blasting and painting it, knowing it would take a few shows it would be worth it to me or others my friend, , I hope you do it so we all can see the work being done Andrew 👍✌️, God bless ya

Sweet rig! You always find the coolest equipment.

What a great price! For a grader. Loved the unit you picked up. Your show is always great.

Been waiting to see a video on this. Would be great to see you and Matt from diesel creek restore her like he did with his.

Good buy, Andrew. Brake fluid is very good for removing paint.

thank you for your work on filming, editing and sharing this. it was a fun watch! keep up the good work!

Thanks for another great video, Andrew. Be careful snowmobiling this winter

There is no greater joy than buying a large piece of used equipment (on the cheap) that looks beaten but runs like it's still new, and then you shape your own land with it. It brings back some great memories.

That is a cool older grader. The rocks were a little too coarse to grade though. I am not a fan of the old two stroke Detroits but this one seemed to do a good job of powering the grader but starting was a bit of a problem. Good deal for $7,500.

This has to be one of the most praised new pieces of equipment in Andrew's arsenal. Glad you got it and that it's paying off! Great vid as always!

You deserve everything you got man. Good job, keep living your dreams.

Andrew, you definitely should get that truck. You deserve to have nice things, you worked so hard and there's no place that Bronco can't go.

@Diontek There are tons of reviews on these. Some have the lockers fail right out of the box.

Don’t know if you were already planning on purchasing a grader before I mentioned it in an earlier video. It was the next logical purchase being you do a lot of driveway work. I’m sure there is a steep learning curve since it takes a lot of finesse compared to the other machines you already use. I was already impressed with how you operate your other machines. You definitely have a knack for this kind of work.

Love the Pump and bleed brakes Part , reminded me as a teenager working on our cars in the driveways of our homes. Hands on Fluid on driveway with parents giving us hell to clean up the mess !

A, Camarata video on a Saturday morning with a coffee before heading out for the day. That is a good start for me.

I love how Andrew is so impressed by things working as they should😂
