Bonjour, je suis Français, quel plaisir de voir un pationner comme vous. J'ai conduit ce genre de graders dans les années 1969. Aujourd'hui je travaille toujours avec des niveleuses Caterpillar de tout genres, je continue à former des conducteurs de niveleuse. Dommage que je n'ai pas d'anciennes niveleuse pour leurs faire essayer. Bravo à vous d'avoir refait marcher un modèle de ce genre. 😊
I have just bought a near identical 212 grader. Mine doesn't have the added hydraulic pump and power assist on the steering though. I'm going to have to see if I can track down the parts and do a retrofit on mine. Will make it a lot easier to run! Great project and thank you for sharing! I hope I can make my old girl look as good.
Great to see one restored. I have one, (an old 212) which I still use on hire. Graders are very scarce in Ireland these days, especially small ones. Operators are practically non existent. So I can still get lots of work for it. We fitted a perkins 6cyl engine to it, and power steering, so now it has direct electric start, and doesn't pull your arms out of their sockets, when the front wheel hits a rock, or rut. keep up the good work.
Beautiful Work and Beautiful Grader. Reminds me of Matt on Diesel Creek restoring a Galon 503 grader.

I have a 1949 212 and can't find tires for it. What did you use for tires on yours? Mine are size 10-24.
