We'll call him Mr Keller he has owned the truck since it was new. He owned and operated Keller Turkey Farm east of Pueblo. It originally had a 350 Cummins in it. The truck to this day looks like new.

This old girl hasn't moved in my lifetime till today. Road King #12 Grader.
It sat way out back in a neighbor's fence line.
I graded thousands of miles with it as a little kid trying to run the wheels. Lol.
It must a been top of the line in it's day. Wheel lean front and rear. The rear axle can extend out either side on a gear track.
The drawbar will swing side to side on a set of gears.
I dang sure wouldn't wanna tangle with a guy that wrestled them wheels all day!Attached Files:

When I was a kid growing up on a cattle ranch in MT in the 80s, we had one identical to that one. We did use it though, would pull it with a small bulldozer to grade all the ranch and farm roads on the place. -
