You've got the right idea, problem is the distance for me. You're likely to raise some local interest if you post a picture or two. By looking at the visits on this forum it's always the picture ones that get the most attention (even the old and the ugly machines Thumbs Up

)

Eric is correct that a couple of pictures would draw some interest. There is always a market for parts for these graders as, except for the engine, the only source of parts are salvaged parts. For example I have been trying to find the angle (worm) drive for the power circle and have had no luck in finding a salvage machine that was equipped with a power circle. It is not that large of a component so shipping would not be a major issue. Eric, I see that you are also from BC. Do you have a D grader?

Hi Don:
No I don't have a model D grader but now that I know you're searching for that part I'll keep you in mind when I come across one and send you an email. I have had a number of A-C industrial machines over the years so I tend to pay attention when discovering what's around. (I'm in the lower mainland)
