Re: Oddball graders from the past
And here a pair of DISTINGTON graders not far from me here in Queensland.
and a CARLISLE I drove in New Zealand in the mid 1950's. The Carlisle was produced as a model 200 and the Distington as a B90 but ALL were license built GALION model 90
The engines in all were the 6 cylinder378 cu.in which I think became the 400 series. Transmission was the "Oliver" 3x2 with two sticks
And there is a little Wakefield not far from me here. I forget the model but the engine is a direct start from the BTD9 and B100. Its just a little thing used on driveway and footpath construction. (forgot the pic)

Interesting photos Rayman.
Amazing how many brands / models were built for a machine type that is not that common in general usage (compared to say a excavator or bulldozer).

Re: Oddball graders from the past
There was no difference other than the name-Galion-Distington-Carlisle and Wakefield. I know there is a wakefield thread but I'm here now so- this machine is not far from me and the only mods it has is a nifty side shift added to the blade.

Re: Oddball graders from the past
Hi, Rayman.
Interesting photos. That little Wakefield would be around the size of the Galion 503/Allis Chalmers DD or just a bit heavier, would it?
Thanks for sharing.
