    Video got too long so I split it, Ill post part 2 tomorrow morning at 8:30 EST!! Thanks for watching!
  • I hope you realize just how much we appreciate the time and trouble you go through to provide us with your awesome content! Voted (by me, at least) one of the best channels on YouTube! Thanks, Matt!
  • Matt don’t worry about the colors not being perfect. This is a working grader and not a museum trailer queen.
  • @RustyNail5856
    She is Beautiful Matt, it is Great to see her back in Action.
  • Remembering what goes where is every mechanic's challenge, I know the struggle. I'm very happy for getting this grader back together, God bless the subscriber who helped you out and saved you over $1,000.
  • @aetch77
    Spends over a year rebuilding a machine that has fought him every step of the way, worries about the paint not matching. It's looking good.😘
  • @PatrickPoet
    How many people, when he said the hydraulic pump was about to drive him nuts, thought, "how could we tell the difference?"
  • Dad was a grader operator. He loved your channel. He passed away last Friday. Wish I could see him run equipment one last time.
  • @ko9446
    Awesome to see her alive again. Loved that you let Chris and DP put a bit of time on her.
  • Hey Matt, if you ever need a clutch alignment tool for something rare/obscure, you can use a piece of tube and wrap tape around it to get the right diameter for the pilot and the inside of the splines. Works a treat 👍
  • @garycook2355
    that grader has given you so much trouble we should call it a hoodoo machine. its good seeing it come back together.
  • @Tomhohenadel
    Matt, the Galion grader is a beaut, really amazing. Great for the farm.
  • @woodym5933
    I've been waiting for more on Christine. Looking great! Just a tip, when using Chinesium bearings take a pick and remove the seal on one side and add a little extra grease. Thanks for the video Matt.
  • @alexhayden2303
    I can't believe that front tire took so long to get some air!
  • Dear Christine, ... notes to a grader. You helped me through the pandemic despite being possessed. Thanks o' yellow one.
  • Can hardly wait for Part II! What a great machine for building your new shop!
  • "This is a little bit easier than I remember".... famous last words! LOL! 😆😆
