Grader From Stretched Allis Chalmers "G"
 |
The "G" was originally designed as a self-propelled cultivator with the cultivating units positioned under the center of the tractor for good visibility.
Stephen extended the front end of the tractor by cutting the frame in half and making an extended frame out of square steel tubing and round steel tubing. He then mounted a 5-ft. grader blade under the frame just ahead of the operator.
Electro-hydraulic controls raise and lower the blade. The tractor's belt pulley drives a generator that provides the electric power. Stephen can raise either side of the blade and adjust the swing and pitch of the blade hydraulically. The blade will even shift side-ways, if needed. A set of ripper teeth just behind the front wheels can be used to dig up the ground ahead of the blade.
