I bought the CHEAPEST grader on Facebook marketplace - Will it run?? (Part 2)

[@corydriver7634]

There ain’t a lot of quit in this guy. 💪🏻

[@scottshugdinis2660]

I got so tired myself, just watching you swing away, jumping in and out of your equipment etc. Those type days I eat supper, and can barely get off the couch latter in the evening. Too sore. But nice to see it work and do what its supposed to do. I personally think that the spring is the time to sell it. Use it one more time after winter. You can get twice that amount your asking then. Another great job. Keep it up.

[@99Projects]

I ate good that night. I actually sold the grader a couple days ago

[@scottshugdinis2660]

That's great. That was well worth it. Good thing you own alot of property to keep and work on projects. But best of all you work on everything, and don't leave it for 10 years. Like most people. They have big plans but never get around to it. But you do!

[@mattdanger-ny]

I've always loved these old cat graders.

[@jamesmaroon6161]

I really had a lot of fun watching you on this video. So glad you got it fixed and running. I did watch the first video and of course this video. Can't wait for the next video

[@99Projects]

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed watching

[@pdandersondo46]

That was quite the project. You the MAN!!

[@ThatATVGuy]

I love this video and the first one too. I wish I had your job buying things of marketplace fixing them up and then using them. Your awesome and so is Max. I love the cabin videos too can't wait to see more!

[@ThatATVGuy]

I know this comment is late but i love bendge wathing your videos!

[@williamhouk6880]

If you don't know what you're doing, don't go grabbing a sledge or a skid loader, be smart and ask someone or call a tire repairman and stand back and watch & learn then pay the bill. You'll look much more intelligent for it. If you damage the tire, or lock ring, where are you going to find another and at what cost? Pay the man, ask him or her questions and learn. 😏 The lock ring pops off towards you with a prybar over the edge of the rim for starters. Then the entire tire, tube, and rim liner will all slide off together to be disassembled, repaired, and reassembled then reinflated. (That's the dangerious part.) Pay the man! 😮 Pay attention! 😮 And learn! 😊 stay 14:22 alive! ❤

[@99Projects]

I did it, and it worked just fine

[@williamhouk6880]

We just like to keep you around to get to know you, I just got here, I'm in my 70's and been around this stuff all my life. I watched Matt on diesel creek mess up his rims on his grader, then had to drive I think to Michigan to get 6 used rims to replace his. He was fortunate to find them. Earlier, there was talk questioning the direction of the tread on the drive tires. That's so you may be able to back out of a situation without help from another machine. You'll see front tires reversed side to side like that for steering traction. That's what that's all about. Traction in both directions. You lucked out finding a really nice machine. Congrats!

[@99Projects]

@@williamhouk6880I appreciate that sir, I am pretty careful, sometimes stuff just has to get done. I was a bit concerned about damaging the rims, but that rim was so rusted out, i pretty much had nothing to lose. I was planning on it not ever working again, which is why attempted to repair it and that repair held up.

[@furyfantoo]

@williamhouk6880 Yes, 3-piece rims are nothign to trifle with, esp not for an amateur.

[@kirk467]

It’ll level your property too! Diesel Creek and Letsdig18 have graders too! I can’t wait to see you put the Cummins in the Ford dump truck and use your gantry crane you fabricated! Thanks for sharing and I’m just trying to catch up on some of your videos! I just subscribed and I’m living in Louisiana! Sending prayers and positive energy to you and your family! Thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@furyfantoo]

This is the first time I've ever seen an attempt to remove a tire from a rim while still on the vehicle, and still in contact with the ground. But you got it done. The grader runs surprisingly well and doesn't smoke much once it's warmed up. Hope you made money on it!

[@99Projects]

Idk if I made money on it, but I had fun with it

[@furyfantoo]

And each project builds experience for the next one, too.

[@кысякыся-п4ш]

It's the first time I've seen a wheel bead like that! There is a network, you could see how it is done. Did you run away for five days?

[@adman6380]

Amazing perseverance

[@99Projects]

Thank you

[@briangraham540]

'TIP, Never stand while operating because once you start that bad habit you wil always stand take that from a person who has 50 plus years on a Grader and from my Dad who trained me on a Grader and my Dad's last Grader was a 1960 Cat Grader with a Pup engine so enjoy as they are my favorite machine to operate ! ( from Canada )

[@patrickrooney5130]

I niver seen a tyre so hard to get of. Good job buddy. I've just found this channel. and looking forward to seeing more. take care and good luck.

[@99Projects]

thanks

[@walterchapman2884]

Great job patching the rim and getting the tire on!

[@deborahplyler6528]

Enjoyed video thanks for sharing.

[@byronbarrow9260]

My Grandfather use to operate Galion grader in the 60s grading Sugar Cane Plantation roads

[@joseedgarmorales9411]

Me encantaba acompañar a mi padre y ponerle.mucho cuidado a todo lo que hacía en la máquina ..para mí eso era fenomenal.

[@99Projects]

Well said

[@annasampson5594]

Keep up the good work.

[@Cyclone74]

One of my uncles wirked for Caterpillar in Decatur, Illinois

[@TheGeezzer]

Who else has a grader? Scrappy Industries, Andrew Camarata, Diesel Creek...Jesse Muller maybe....I think everyone has one!

[@99Projects]

Everyone should have one

[@texascottonfarmer]

👍👍👌👌 Great video! Kudos to the camera operators. Thank you for using a tripod as much as possible. I have to say 99% of the youtube "content providers" don't realize that a hand-held camera results in shaky, out-of-focus, crappy videos when the operator is trying to work on something with the other hand. Thanks for the video!

[@99Projects]

I agree with that. Thanks for watching

[@corydriver7634]

It looks like the tread pattern is reversed on the back tire-is that intentional?

[@99Projects]

If it was the one I changed it’s bcuz I wasn’t paying attention. If it was the other tires, that was someone else’s fault lol

[@dalestevens4683]

The tire he just changed is correct....that's the way it should be for traction the rear one is wrong.

[@JackKysor]

Use the greater blade for your jack

[@wesleythomas1594]

What year is this one?

[@99Projects]

It’s a 1949, if I remember right

[@raytalbot5890]

Andrew Camatra & Jessie Muller have graders & they are in NY as well, Marty T in NZ has 1👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@anthonydavis7681]

we have a grader exactly like yours. If memory serves me correctly, it's a '62 Cat C12 or C112 I'm not sure of the exact model, but it's a 1962 and looks just like yours.

[@99Projects]

Yep, it’s a number 12 grader. Great machine

[@Cyclone74]

Are you going to let Max with you in the road grater??

[@emmanuelpascalrobert7604]

You need a compactor now

[@beauxtx1959]

You need a Burke bar.

[@99Projects]

Yea that’d be nice

[@gradyyokeley9930]

You need a hydrolic bead breaker

[@99Projects]

That would have been nice

[@TommyTacoColorado]

Good grief, what a grueling process to change that tire!

[@99Projects]

Yes it was

[@benschlack5814]

Determined no not you 👍

[@leongibbs6111]

Should've cut it off

[@corydriver7634]

😂 Your hindsight is 20/20 Captain Obvious.

[@99Projects]

i really had no idea what i was doing so, looking back, yea, i should have.
