          | Just brought home my new toy, my second Allis. I have a B10 and for some reason the other day I just had to lug home a model D grader! The motor is stuck as of now and I don’t have great optimism that I won’t have to rebuild it, but it really looks unmolested. It has power angle and it also has what looks like a factory blade on the front! Looking forward to digging in. As soon as I figure out how to change file sizes I will post pics. |

          | if your photos are on the computer.... open in PAINT and make them 800 x 600 pixels... if your using a cell phone you might be able to e-mail to yourself and then downsize the photo...  photos need to be  downsize prior to downloading..

          | I think that toward the end of the D grader production they were putting them together with whatever parts that were available. The only options that my D grader had was a 12' moldboard and the tilting front axle when I bought it. I was primarily going to use it for grading private driveways so the first thing I did was to cut 1' off each end of the moldboard. The left and right blade controls were on each side of the steering wheel so you couldn't steer and control both sides of the blade at the same time. I am left handed so I move both blade controls to the left side of the steering wheel. I then added power steering and a couple of more changes to make it more versatile and fun to use.
