Blueriver,
If you need a duragrader prior to January, 2010 just let me know. I can pick up one on my next visit to Daddy's and you can meet me for coffee (your treat) in DeQueen, Arkansas. Probably save you a bunch on shipping.

No David I don't need one, was just being smart? Hey by the way, I got the impression from the post by Seals that Wayne got the blades, then you cleared it up ... I for one never thought even for a moment that there was anything controversy about that. I applauded and still applaud you for helping Wayne get his grader. I still believe he has either a refund for shipping or compensation of some sort.

Blueriver,
I agree with you on the fact that Wayne_Freeman needs some sort of compensation for the shipping he paid for but didn't receive, something for the aggrevation of having to track down the duragrader and set up his own shipping.
JSeals has said he would send a spare set of blades, which I assume would be ok with Wayne, but he hasn't said. I don't know what they are worth on todays market, but I would be willing to pay what I did before if Wayne isn't interested and they are dropped off here, or in Gulf Breeze(a very long time friend lives there, sandman4901)
I will be willing to do what I can to make this whole thing come to a finale, so that everyone is happy, and maybe Duragrader can clear their name.

MLinOleMiss,
I have thought about saying the same thing to Eddie, but have neglected to. I think he has one and ten confused, unless he has to fix the jeep to go fishing, but at worse case the kids should go fishing as soon as the jeep is running, as long as that isn't too long a wait.

I cleaned up some of the posts that were deleted and/or typed with strange characters. No PM was sent to anyone that had a post removed from this thread, as there were too many.

I ordered a dura-grader on 2/27/10 with a promised ship date of 3/5/10. The credit card was billed on 2/28 but I haven't received the grader. Email inquiries on 3/15 and of 3/16 have gone unanswered, as well as three phone calls.

I think Richard is in Kiln, MS. The actual fabrication shop is in Picayunne. David Seal is apparently in charge of the fabrication shop. His cell number is 228-493-0530.

You can always have your credit card company do a chargeback if you don't receive your grader. I'd suggest saying that in any message you leave.

So, jackferguson, did you ever receive your Dura-Grader? Are you happy with it? I am considering pulling the trigger on my own Dura-grader purchase but I'd like to know if they are treating their customers right in 2010. David Seal has been calling me with a better price than I originally received by e-mail from Richard. Prices include shipping! Thanks.

I was searching and found this nine-year-old thread. I don't normally like to resurrect these zombies, but I do have much more recent experience that I feel is pertinent for anyone that may search and find this thread.

I ordered from Mr. Seal, whose website is now Home of the Highest Quality Pull Type Graders, Skid Steer Graders, Spr. I ordered and paid for the grader 12/18/2018. I picked the grader up at the truck depot in early January 2019. Mr. Seal was very responsive to my emails and kept me updated on progress and shipping. The grader, a Skid-Max, is very well built and put together nicely. I would have absolutely no qualms ordering from him now.
