A few shots from the last few Nice days here, been in the 70's every day,, looks like that is going bye bye for us. I had to replace a culvert on a spillway crossing,, haul some sandy dirt in some road low spots and spent about 7 hours in the 1470 seat yesterday ripping stubble ground, thought some here might like to see

lowering to spillway a bit more here to relieve some more water pressure on the well over 100 year old dam

New approach was needed plus a good amount of new fill had to be installed to make a new road to be able to hit the crossing straight when pulling stock trailers

Looking good!!! You need a gravel creek running thru your farm, then you could gravel the road.
 
no gravle here we have lots of scoria though which is burned coal,, to get to a river gravel you have to go 40 to 100 miles away from my place but yes I wish i did have a gravel pit here, I wish I even had a scroia pit but the closest one is 12 miles away,, we have had dirt two track roads here for the last 100 years my family has been here not perfect but not un do able either lol
 
Long trip but guess I would start that way if I could have the IH dump truck, have its mate and several more but can never have enough IH trucks. Like the work if you did all that by yourself in a day you did good.
 
the little end dump was bought new by family by marriage, think its a 59 model steering has about 1/2 a turn slack so you are on the ball driving her but she runs great, hoist will lift a full load of wet sand with ease, I use her some every year some years far more than others,, I have about 200 yards to haul with it yet but not sure the weather will allow me to this fall yet but we will see, I am third owner of it, about the only way it would leave is if I was to have a Dodge one like it in trade
 
Great pictures as always. When I was young I worked for a contractor and he had a 450 Case dozer with 6 way blade just like yours. I was always impressed with what it was capable of. You could fine grade with it but it would really do quite good with heavier pushing for its size. Having power to both tracks when turning helped it a lot compared to other machines of its size. I also like seeing the VAC helping out on the job, I had one of them years back . Sure enjoy your pictures of the Cases at work and the wide open country.
 
Nice pictures looks like there is a little bit of moisture there. I like road building and putting in culverts stuff like that
 
We finally got some H20 a couple weeks ago,, about a 1" of rain then 6-7" of snow on top of that dirt works really nice now
 
Very nice work!

Case never made trucks? I am sure you would have one otherwise? Or maybe repower an old Pete with a Case 504?
