$500 Road Grader Forgotten in a Field... Was it WORTH the RESCUE?!?

Описание: Well...... I found another Motor Grader to rescue, and I honestly don't know if it was WORTH it or not!?! Do I need another grader? How bad is the DAMAGE? There are SO many unanswered questions, and hopefully we'll get some answers today!

This is a Mid to Late 1950's Allis Chalmers Model D Motor Grader or Road Grader. It appears to be in decent shape for it's age, but someone DESTROYED the back of the machine by smashing it with a set of forks.

Today's plan is to get it out of the field I found it in, and back to the shop so we can evaluate it and give it a FULL inspection to see if it's WORTH putting some time & money into!

The service truck came in REALLY handy rescuing this inoperable machine and getting it safely back to The Salvage Cave!

i hope you'll join me on another Machine Rescue Adventure, and we'll figure out together whether or NOT I should have recused this old grader!



This machine should be a LOT of fun!
