OT - ATV Mini Road Grader

http://www.outdoorsdirectory.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=180

Seeing this reminded me of when I was a kid. The street I lived on
was dirt, not paved, and the town, county, state, gubmints did not
scrape it. Someone had come across an old road grader, non-self
propelled, no power anything in fact. So the neighborhood men got
togther periodically, pulled it with a tractor, and proceeded to grade
the street. There's probably only a few of us seen nything like that
outside of a museum. Interesting how things can pop back into your mind
that you haven't thought of for decades. I remember that from sometime
in the late '40s, up to maybe '52, when we moved to a home with an
indoor toilet, and hot and cold running water (just had cold before).
Times do change.

Rough ridin' suckers too! Spent more than a few hours on one when
Grandad worked for the "town". Pulled it behind an OLD International
crawler, one of thre ones you started on gas, then converted to
diesel, then switched back to gas before shutting down.

Did you say remember, we still use one of those grader, complete with
steel wheels. We have it at the cottage and
use it every summer.
