Mini Road Grader Made From Cub Cadet TRACTORS Conversions 23-5-8 Bob Haider, Burlington, N. Dak., has a long driveway but until recently he didn't have a good way to grade it. Fortunately, he's blessed with a lot of mechanical ability so he decided to build a mini road grader.
The result is a nifty unit that's 6 1/2 ft. wide and 11 ft. long. It's powered by a 23 hp Kohler engine and painted Caterpillar yellow.
Haider built the grader from scratch, using some components out of a Cub Cadet garden tractor. "I put the Kohler motor in back of the tractor and use it to chain-drive a hydrostatic motor. An arched section of 4-in. sq. tubing runs up to the front axle, over the blade. The cylinders I used on the blade came from the power steering on a combine. On power steering cylinders both hoses come off the top end so hoses don't hang down in the blade. I built it with safety in mind. I wouldn't be scared to let a kid drive it. There are fenders on it to protect them from the rear wheels."
