They were before my time but we had a old cat -d5 push kitty that had the pony motor and cable blade with the hand clutch !! The old military surplus cat grader probably a 12 ! Mole board was 12', I started on had the old nuckle sticks that wood raise hell if you did not push on them with authority!
