Only 100 were made, mine is serial number 079. Parts are interchangeable with the U industrial models. One of the MM books has a nice picture of a restored one. Mine is still waiting to get done. Maybe this year.... [Reply]  [No Email]

MM provided a few chassis specifically for Graders, a couple tractor in a cradle, and at least one "modern" style "rear-engine" model. mostly U's but also a G-Industrial. [Reply]  [No Email]

Can"t remember manufacturer of conversion, but the G based grader was on eBay a few years back - I think it was in Maine or at least northeast somewhere - Pictures looked really good - but too far for a Louisiana boy to go - otherwise I would have bid. I don"t remember if it met reserve or sold but I don"t remember it going too high - maybe $4000 +/- . [Reply]  [No Email]

There were only around 100 made by MM. The serial number prefix is 039. Most American Grader models used various tractors to power the units. IH etc. They were not true MM. [Reply]  [No Email]
