The Haythorn Ranch in Nebraska still uses one of these and they power it with a team of Belgian horses.

I should have mentioned that when the picture was taken the rig was not running. There was an issue with the drive belt being too lose and they shot the tractor down to figure out a solution. It made a mean ice cream in the end.

Yep, that is truly some ingenious thinking and engineering! Tell me, how the steering done? Mechanical linkage, or is there some sort of hydraulic setup to turn it???

It is mechanical linkage, too bad the 8N's didn't have a power steering option, it's a bear to turn. Power steering came out on the 600s but they are a little longer so the grader would have to have been modified to fit. Since we only know of less than 50 of these in existance, kinda figured it should remain as designed. It was made for Dearborn by MB Companies in New Holstien Wisconsin. The thing on the back is a berm leveler for grading roads.
