TAKerry Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 20240411_090719 by Kerry Grubb, on Flickr Saw this at the local scrap yard this morning. My first thought was Dandy Dave! I have no idea the vintage but I would imagine it was used on some of the roads I traverse daily. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3macboys Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I wonder how hard it would be to get that over the border? If I claimed I was starting a lawn rolling business I just might be able to sneak it past my wife. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Neat! Really sad if they do scrap it. It looks like they went out of their way to make the tractor really heavy to press fresh asphalt. Later ones had heavy steel hollow drums that would be filled with water to add weight for pressing asphalt, and then emptied to make handling and moving the machine easier. Just a guess on my part (perhaps an "educated guess"?). That "road roller" was likely built between the late 1920s to maybe as late as 1950. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
