Lincoln Toys 5401 Grader. 1957. Made in Canada. approx 18 inches long. Heavy pressed steel. Bright orange original paint with partial original decals remaining. Solid heavy toy that has survived almost 60 years.
Nice toy. I've wanted one of these for years but they are always too expensive. Then one day recently at a toy auction, one came across the 'block' I wasn't even expecting, and I purchased it. I'm very happy to have one in my collection.

Nice, I have the green one. http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/103865-lincoln-road-grader?in=collection-2241
The wheels break on these rather easily.
Thanks jpzank. Prices are down a bit now on many of these big pressed steel toys. Still expensive, but deals are out there. Nice to hear you finally have one in your collection.
@ AzTom. I know you have the cool green one. I spotted it way back when I uploaded my orange one. Still haven't found a green one in my travels. Definitely the rare one.
We don't see these very often down here. I think the green one is newer than your orange one as it has hollow plastic like wheels instead of the solid rubber like your's.
I found my green one at The Brass Armadillo Antique mall for $18.00.
Great buy.
Tom - I sent you an email the other day - did you receive it? From Jpzank@aol.com
