Building A small pull pan Type scraper
Ok here is what I would be interested in knowing.
Back in the 50's my Dad designed and built 2 different wheeded pan type scrapers. 1 2 wheeled 1 4 wheeled. They eventually went on to be commercially made machines. I have 1 of each machine the #2 2 wheeled prototype and 1 of the commercial made 4 wheeled models. I use them both esily pulled by my MF 35 38hp. I can esly move 15 yds per hour with the 2.5 yd machine.
Even by todays standards the 2 wheeled machine is an advanced design, loading from the front bottom, unloading from the back bottom both processes work very fast and are precission spotting. I also have all the building notes and all the original sketches that he made them from. The 2 wheeled machine holds 1.25 yards the 4 wheeled machine holds 2.5 yds. My question is this if I made new CAD drawings for either of these would anyone be interested in buying sets of construction drawings for either and what would be a price that someone would pay. This will be no easy task. I am open to all opinions here. Thanks
