Adams Road Grader - a photo on Flickriver

Adams Road Grader

            This rusty equipment was on display at the Dalles Mountain Ranch which is now part of Columbia Hills State Park in Washington.  Since the ranch was acquired by the State of Washington in 1993, I am assuming this grader was in use long before then.  The Adams Road Grader had leaning wheels which facilitated the work of the grader.  This one appears to have been pulled by teams of 4 to 6 horses or mules.  The operator controlled the action of the blade and the lean of the wheels with a series of levers and wheels.  Would have been interesting to see this thing in action in its day.  In fact, the road to the Dalles Mountain Ranch would have benefited from the services of this machine!
