| On auction time today, I got an AD 3 for 200 bucks. No engine in it, but one comes with it that is advertised as being "loose". Bought it sight un-seen. About 30 miles from home, so not too bad a distance. Like I really needed another project, but I have allis fever so bad, I can't help myself. Darrel |

Darrel According to the parts book there were gearbox changes at #785 and #1548. By the illustration those before #785 had straight cut gears (except #779). I'd doubt that they'd have tooled up for 785 boxes to then change so these might have been carried over from previous. I have no earlier literature to help with this. |

| Thanks Ian. I think the transmission was from an outside supplier, so they were probably at the mercy of what was available |

Darrel In that event maybe have a look and see if some other maker of graders was using something similar. I suspect there was a fair bit of using what was available going on. It looks like the 45 brake assembly might be the same as the early Cat 12s for instance. |

| Well Shameless. Where I grew up, it was slightly remote area. 4 miles away from a town of about 100. 20 miles to a town of 800. And a long ways from anywhere. But, I did always manage to find a prom date, and it was female, and was of the human species. Lol. Darrel |

Darrel Then not like one of the wilder parts of Oz then - the Northern Territory in the past described as "the home of wanted men and unwanted women". And an even more un-pc one "Necessity is the mother of invention and the father of (deleted or I'm likely banned)" |

3 summers ago I helped a friend haul a 4WD tractor and scraper pan up there west of Minot and returned across US2 through Grand Forks.I never seen so much country with no dwellings.Seemed like you drove forever before seeing a one horse villa.I'd think it would be hard to find a date let alone a bunch of loose weomen. |

| Steve, you was in the populated part of the state. You got to get down into the south western part to get to the sparsely populated area. But if there was only one loose woman in the whole state, Shameless would find her! Lol Darrel |

SteveM What cityites really don't get is that when the houses get closer than 4 miles it is getting overpopulated |
