Galion grader

[JoeJ]

Sorry if I got this in the wrong place.

This was at Jacktown this weekend,

Blue Mountain Antique Gas and Steam Engine Assoc., Inc. (http://www.jacktown.com),

The story was.....It was made by and in the Galion plant and was made for one of their salesmen. It ended up at a campground to grade their roads and was then traded in on a new Kabota. The present owner was friends with the Kabota dealer and got first dibs on it.

I'm thinking it must be about 1/3 scale??

I operated a small Gallion like that cleaning up an olive orchard. The one I ran did not have a cab on it and it had a 6-cylinder Cummins Diesel powering it. It was a perfect size for grading in between the trees.

I was gonna go to that show, but ended up under the hood of my wife's mini-van instead. Boy it was hot and humid all weekend. After fixing the van, I was spent for the rest of the day. I felt bad for missing the show as I always enjoy it, but just couldn't deal with the heat.

:bannana: No problem Joe, ROF , I had enough fun for both of us!!

:banghead3 BUT, Kevin was there and we didn't hook up!!

The food lines were moving MUCH faster and the homemade ice cream was GREAT!! ROF

[bontai Joe]

You had to go and mention the homemade icecream? AAARRRGGGHHHH! :banghead3 Kevin is alwys there real early in the morning and typically gone before lunch. I've met him a couple of times, pretty nice guy, and an excellent craftsman. If you've seen photos of some of his work, they look better in person.
