The Grader is going in for blasting, priming and painting.

I'm thinking allis yellow hitch, stainless hardware and black blade.

All the OEM grader blades I have had also have PACAL on the back. They are very useful, great trade!

id="quote">agree ^ dont think you will find many of them dinged up , they are a heavy duty blade. mine also has the PACAL on it

Nice score, I am still looking for a grader blade too!

[GLPointon]

Blasting would be a good idea for the blade as well. It is cast steel so the pits are hard to clean. If its not rusty like mine was then it can just be scrubbed with a stiff nylon brush and dish soap before primer/paint.....Nice trade

I remember there was a steel supplier PACAL near Minneapolis back in 1981-1984 when I was going to school there.

What is pacal?

I believe it was the name of the business, Paper Calmenson and Co. Unsure if they are still in the same business.

Chris,

Those pictures make me want to paint my Dutch blade and John Holcomb hitch. Now that means I will need to find time to remove it from the tractor, clean it, sand it, and paint it.

Yours looks great.

Rick......
