140H Grader

Going nutty with the hydos eh? That will be a grader I'll have to see someday !
I just moved the frame of my 1930 Caterpillar Motor Patrol grader into the shop yesterday. I want to get it ready to be sand blasted so I can start the restoration.

This is gone be a great model.
Really like the high level of detail.
I am very comfortable with metal but with wood never in a 100 years i could do what you are doing.
Hard to believe there is wood under there , never thought you could finish that so smooth.
Keep us updated on this super project and thanks for the pics so far.

that will be a good restoration project. I have loved mechanics all my life and the way intricate parts work together. It might take me a lil longer to build a model like this, but i try to make function as close to the real machine as possible.
