Anyone every scrap a grader? Maybe tater can help me out here. A guy not that far from me has one for scrap and I'm not sure what all is Intailed in moving and maximizing profits. This isn't a really big one but I don't really know anything about it.
If its a dual drive wheel grader, six tires total, you can bet it'll weigh at least 10 tons or better. And depending on brand, I presume it's a cat. And if it's a cat, motor and parts can be worth more than scrap. All depends on age and condition, most cat stuff is 24volt so alt. and starter would have some core value.
Caterpiller Grader
heres what I know haha
I may be wrong but I think its a 112, most of its manual, you even articulate the blade manually,heavy old steel
edit, just changing the blades takes two men, I ran a 14ft blade (2x7) a lot of weight there
If its sunk in the ground, flat/low tires, and/or the drives are stuck, it will take some big equipment to get it out (large 4wd tractor or a dozer). If it rolls, a medium tractor will pull it fine. If you're going far, will need to rent a lowboy. My dad had an old 50s AC grader removed by a scrapper a year ago. Its about the same size as a 112. It was an ordeal (its drives were seized, but I think they eventually broke loose). It made a big articulated 350hp JD work to get it off the property. Ideally, he'll let you tear it down at least to a manageable size where it sits (or not ideally depending on your equip).
Hey, if you're a scrap room member, there's a thread in there where they showed us everything they did to load a Combine in the middle of the woods, exactly like this, I bet it'd help you out a lot! I don't have a link for it though. But it showed pictures of everything they did!
I think it was bigblue12v im pretty sure
One man,one torch one pickup,trailer optional, there has been been no machine I could not overcome to date.
My will is sometimes stronger than my body but my experience and tools make up for it now.

Never underestimate the power of a determined man with a pickup and a torch.- tater jQuote:
