Weekend before last, I finally got around to spraying some paint on the road grader I built.
It wound up looking pretty good actually.
It's funny how the camera angle changes the color in the last picture though.

Can't decide which one I like better. The yellow one or the brown one. They both look good to me :thumbsup:

Looks like you activated some preset (for florescent lighting perhaps) on the camera... If you look everything changed color.

Thanks Gordon!

Aaron, I took those with my smartphone so maybe it thougt it was smart to change the settings on its own? All I did was take a few steps to the left. :laughing:

Could bee that it was too smart for its own good :D.
Nice job on the grader either way.

Interesting... hadn't seen one with a single blade and a backstop. Since the majority of work gets done by my front blade, I can understand why you went with one. Now that it is done, get out there and mess up that pretty yellow/brown paint job and let us know how it does!

Thanks David.
The design is a combination of designs I saw and heard about and partly from trial and error.

The front blade is angled and tilted back because I wanted to make sure I got all the washboard out of the roads. The rear blade at one time was angled to match the front and was tilted at the same angle, but I found that since I have no gravel or rock on any of my roads, the front blade needed to do the cutting and I needed the back blade straight across and almost straight up and down to smooth and level the dirt that spills over the front blade.
