No front blade or loader, what you see is what I got. They do a great job, I have a 1/2 mile long gravel driveway I keep in shape with it.

The Herc. in my grader runs great. I have a second Huber that I robbed some parts off of. That one also has a good engine, Trans. and rear end. I think I'll keep that one as a back up for parts

any chance of selling the motor out of the other parts one. mine is all rebuilt, but no oil pan .no intake or ex manifoldes. basicly a short block now . do you no what the torque is at off idle, like 1600 rpms and what torque is at full throttle and what that rpm whould be maxed out ..steve or what does your idle at and about what rpm is at working speed wile grading.. i found a industrial motor that makes 235 ft lbs of torque at 1600 rpms and max rpm is 4500 ..i think the hurc motor if i remember right was at 3500 if i remember right. ran under load around 2500 3000 rpms

 

[TJA]

Having no tack. I'm not sure what rpms it's running and what torque it has. I just know it will spin the tires at just over idle if I push the blade down to far.
I might sell the other motor, I have to think about it.

That is a first class restoration. The only thing I can identify is the rear axle, which looks like 1940's Ford 1 1/2 ton truck.

How do you operate it? I can see the gearshift and the brake appears to be a hand operated band on the transmission output shaft. Is the large pedal behind the console the clutch, and is the small round pedal nearby the throttle?

It appears that the blade angles, lifts, and tilts. Does it move any other direction?

It is great to see those old machines preserved.

Thanks.
