Got to spend a couple hours with my Son using our CAT Model 35 Pull Type Grader. I was just the "mule" driver. Danny was the blade operator. Pretty amazing what these old machines will do. We started with some gravel road maintenance to let him get used to the controls.

Next we moved onto dirt road shaping. That's where this old Grader shines. I quit guiding Danny by driving in the correct lane. I started driving in the middle of the roadway and let him learn how to steer the grader himself.

All in all, it was a good time for Father/Son bonding and getting a taste of roadbuilding history. :)

Don't know where that road is going, but it sure looks pretty today. Some days it would look better that the cement I 35.:)

Love seeing the old grader put to work. Im not much on trailer queens or lawn ornaments.

Now that is right up my alley. It sure does a good job, and it didn't take your son long to get the hang of it.
