Tow behind , rakes and grader blade. Would like some ideas where to find the specs , DOM , etc . Tried the york site , no reply yet. This needs a new home , I would like for someone in upstate ny to buy it and give it new life. Tired now from non-use and sitting for years . Was freshened up 20 years ago , gently used , but been sitting for a while. Old pic :

No , it looks tired . It would look a lot better in a new home where someone will love it and take good care of it. I'm just trying to get a rough idea of value , age , etc .

Oh man! I wish you were about three thousand miles closer to my home.
Do you have a grader blade for it?
I have seen a couple of those on old ranches around here, but never one modern enough to have rubber tires. And I have never seen one which still had any trace of paint left.
I have about a mile of canal bank which is the access to my property. I dump pit run, which includes river rock up to ten inch diameter, in the soft spots as they occur.
I could pull that sweet little grader behind my Ford 8N, and sweep the rocks away as they surface. Or with a grader blade, I could knock off the high spots more effectively than with a six foot terracing blade.
Alas, I am sure it would cost more to ship the distance than the machine would be worth. But it shore is purty!

Wish you lived closer as well , sounds like what you need is what this grader was built for . This is the blade :

Road trip would be fun. And I am sure the Adirondacks would be a beautiful experience. But it just is not possible at this time.

This is a high tech machine . This gear attached to the front wheels and operated by the wheel at the operators front , allows for the grader / rake to run off set on either side of the tow vehicle .
