This road grader is part of the outside display at the Lakeview (Mich.) Historical Museum. It was loaned to us by a family, but no one knows anything about it. Someone saw green paint in a spot or two, so it was given a coat of green paint at some point. We could not find a manufacturer’s plate or name anywhere on it. Can anyone tell us what brand it might be, the age and what colors it should be painted? Thank you for your help.

This shows a photo of a piece of McCormick-Deering farm equipment I found on newly acquired property. It’s not a very good photo but I could not get the piece out of the woods and the right rear wheel has a tree growing through it. The numbers “08” are cast on the ball joints, but there are no other markings. Does anyone know what this is?
