Good onya Mark, good to see you joining the rest of us with Big Pockets. Nice old girl. I was up the paddock today, trying to fit a new spin on oil filter adapter on my piece of old iron. I hope you don't have to struggle to keep your new toy going. Talk to you soon brother.
@@adriannettlefold9084 thanks Adrian and I gotcha I’m hoping that won’t be a big issue since it’s a very common cat grader so there’s lots of parts around I’m very happy I was able to buy it thanks for watching!
You are absolutely correct I’ve missed that sound for a lot of years now thanks buddy I appreciate it and yes will definitely have more videos coming thanks for watching!

We had a old Adam grader new in the early 60 Had it to just plow snow in the winter 150 horsepower 50 gallons for 8 hrs Had to use the moldboard sometimes It had the knuckles levers😅
That is super nice congratulations the nicest thing about that is no computers I did not notice any oil leaks in the motor so that's even better you'll really enjoy it can't wait to see some videos in the dirt 😁

Like a lot of the comments appearing this brings back a few memories. Are the hydraulics over dog clutches factory ? I thought my series 2 140 was feeling a bit dated , not so much now. G’day from Horsham Australia 👍
