Hello, I'm working on a Sawyer Massey pull type road grader (circa 1900) that I hope to use behind my Farmall Super C and I'm in need of some information, preferrably pictures, to help in its reconstruction. More specifically how the blade and its frame mounts underneath. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, tractorsam

I have no knowledge of that grader. I do have extensive use of graders behind tractors. The SC is one of the handiest tractors ever. It is not much of a grader tractor. Unless the grader you are putting together is less than 6ft wide, and smallish in structure, the SC will be stopped in its tracks by the (even modest) engagement of the blade in earth. If the intent is to crown loose gravel on a drive, or smooth loose surface soil, it will be OK. There will be a need for an operator on the grader to adjust the cut as progress is made. Using front wts, and down pressure from the wt of the grader would help some. Sharpening the blade will also be useful so as to shear off tufts of grass father than wearing them off. We have an Adams Leaning Wheel 9' blade and it is all a 350U can do to pull it well. A pare of SMs tandem hitched works much better when the cut is in the range of the capability of the grader. The Ms need very experienced drivers, even if they are hitch mounted to one another with the front steering removed from the second tractor. Using a moldboard plow first, and modest expectations second will be very important. JimN
