"Over time, too often no one could remember who had it last, and it sat in the weeds while the grading job was taken over by the pros."
One of those was what I bought. Guy who sold it to me cut off 4" trees that had grown up through it. He'd been intending to take it to sell as George thought, an ornament.
I put rubber tires on, and started using it. Took a couple of tries before I got the operator's platform correct with the multiple controls that mount there. Platform was long gone before I got it. Not only can the operator adjust the blade every which way, but the back axle will both offset and steer. Very little these machines cannot do. Mine even has a shock absorber to protect the blade and frame.
Then I bought a considerably newer Galion, which didn't work as well. A motorgrader that didn't have a low enough gear for my driveway. Now it sits in the weeds, while the old Galion does the work.
