1960’s Galion Road Grader back to work after being abandon for over a decade!

Glad we get to see the driveway ‘finished’ and when you look back at the ‘Homestead from nothing’ playlist you can really see how far you’ve come. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

Really did awesome job there Matt!! Just to give you a small pointer when grading. Remember that you. Stand the mold board up to cut and move material. And to do finish work you follow over your board to smooth and fill. You see the adjustments on each side to di that with. The next time that you grade those cuttings on the driveway fold forward the moldboard and turn your blade to the side so you put a windrow in the middle of the driveway. Make a pass down each side rolling material and leaving overflow in center. Make your final pass with the blade angled a bit towards the outer edge of drive giving you a crown from center to outside so as it settles and packs it gives a slight slope to have runoff from rain. Make you final passes and it rolls the material in front of blade and will fill in the small imperfections. Then a simple passover with the roller and you'll have a driveway that will maintain for many long years. Just a simple blading as needed in years ahead. Good luck and I look forward for the next installment!!

Christine is earning her keep with the excellent work she is doing!! And not trying to kill you anymore!!

❤️me some CHRISTINE!! Dang she purrs like a kitten! She is my favorite restores!

Saturday Morning: Coffee, my Bride of 27 years, Matt and Christine…a tradition in my home for nearly 2 years. Thanks Matt and Miss Eva!

If you ever lose audio in the future, I always enjoy when you do the voiceovers explaining what you're trying to accomplish, what your thought process is, what the next steps are, etc.

Nice job. Christine is a good girl now. That's how rescues are supposed to go!

I just love watching you operate all the different machinery from heavy equipment to lawnmowers

Every time I see a new video, I’m hoping to see the building start coming up. I can only imagine how excited you are about it lol.

For a guy who says he doesn't know what he's doing grading the road, you sure did a fine job. Thanks for another interesting video.

Now that is pretty damn cool! I used to love those old graders as a kid- those old ‘50s models were still working then, and I always liked them...

Good to see the ole' girl up and grading again. Thanks for all the video's. As allways be safe. Peace.🇺🇸

That pile covered a lot more than I thought it would. Nice work Matt.

That is so cool how that small pile covered the amount of The drive way it did and seing the grader smooth it out so well is very cool 21:00 @Diesel Creek

Please put the glass back in Christine before winter, even if you park her inside! She's earned it. Good work bud.

Very well done Christine💪🇸🇪 A man is driving down an old dirt road As he is driving he notices there are very few houses nearby, as he is enjoying the scenery he runs his car over into the ditch. As it had recently rained the ditch was slick and muddy and he had found himself stuck. He realizes his predicament so he starts walking. He walks up to a house and see's a farmer plowing his field while his wife is dropping in seeds and his kid is burying the seeds. The man asks the farmer "Hey, you got a phone? My car is stuck in the ditch." The farmer says "I'll unhitch my horse and pull you out." The man says "No I need a phone to call a wrecker, my car is stuck in the ditch." But the farmer insists on using his one horse. So the man and the farmer walk back to the car, as they approach the car the farmer says, "I'll hook him to the bumper and you put it in neutral" the man says ok. So he gets in his car and puts it into neutral, the farmer gets behind the horse and says, "Come on Dusty, come on Matt, come on Richard," then the farmer says "Come on Elmer" then the horse, with ease pulls the car out of the ditch. In shock the man asks the farmer why he called the horse so many names. The farmer says "well, Elmer is blind, and if he thinks he is working by himself he won't pull"

My father spent his entire life as a heavy equipment operator- IUOE 841, he took pride in his finish grade work. He told me, any mouth breather can dig a hole, push dirt around, or cut a slope, finish grade work separates the men from boys. He would challenge himself to cut road crown in before they staked it out and be within tolerance when they did stake it.

Fantastic job on Christine. I never thought watching someone restore a piece of rusty history could be so addictive. Your videos are great and you don't ramble on and on about something - you just do it and explain it. Great style, great content, and you are truly the backbone of America. We surely need more dedicated, hard-working men like you. Good luck in all your future activities. Christine might have been cursed, but praise the lord, you knocked that ghost right out of her. Now if you can only get it to start from INSIDE the cab!

The split view is so cool 16:17 @Diesel Creek
