  • The custom-built motor grader uses Cub Cadet components to create a unique and extremely useful machine for maintaining gravel drives. It's ability to remove wash boarding from gravel driveways is amazing.

    What an outstanding little machine you’ve got there! An engineering masterpiece as well! Keep both sides of the mold board on the ground and try to start in one place and keep your passes uniform. Start on the low side in the ditch and sweep your material up to the crown and then back. Two passes on each side should do it unless it’s in really bad shape. There’s a channel here on CZcams called unsealed roads management and they’re out of Australia and if you watch their blade operators it is a textbook example of how it should be done. Best of luck and congrats on remaking the mousetrap! 🇺🇸💪👊

    You should build a blower that can attach to the tractor with the 3 point hitch that you recently put together. Then you could blow the leafs away before grading.

    The tires are not on backwards that would be for fertilizer and spray rigs out in the field that may have to have the traction for reversing out of wet spots. Otherwise the V of the traction bars should be forward. But like you said in this case being non driven it really doesn't matter.

    A tip to take care of the leaves before you scape the drive is to take you mower and set the deck height high above the rocks and use the mower to suck up the leaves and blow them off the drive. After several times of scrapping them off you can build up a small berm of the rocks that you inevitably catch with the leaves on the far outside which will keep water in your driveway causing more potholes and washboard to form up instead of letting the water drain off as intended. It took me a while to figure this out for myself on my 3/4 mile driveway that I maintain. I really wish I had the time and ability to make a grader like yours but for now I just use a bixbland and standard scrape blade with manual adjustments on it on my tractor.

We have pushed our tractors past the limits which they were made do by the manufacture, and these brutes take a beating and keep asking for more!

    Frank I like all of the stuff you have built, when running an air cooled motor they don't cool well enough at half or 3/4 throttle I've rebuilt thousands of them run it at full throttle doing anything or she will need to rebuild the engine I talking have it bored out by a machinist and then put all new stuff in them.

    This is cool, one thought I had as to an improvement you could do to this would be to add spacers on the four rear driving wheels to add more stability to the machine so as to reduce the risk for tipping if you hit a slope or dip while driving it. You don't have to do it though. It is plenty impressive as it is.

    People claiming that you have your tractor tires on backwards? Then why are my original Ford and Cub Cadet tractor manuals showing my Ford 9n and 8n, and my 1970's Cub Cadet tractors with the treads facing the same direction which you have your tires?

    • @woodandmetalshoptime8048
      @woodandmetalshoptime8048  Před 28 dny +1

      If you look at road graders, many seem to run the front tires opposite of the normal direction. I've seen them both ways, but I understand the majority run the front tires different than the rear tires. I got dozens of comments to that effect, saying they were on backwards, on some previous videos featuring this machine.
