    This is a Hubley/Gabriel #1805 Road Grader I picked up. I don't collect a lot of Hubleys made after 1965 when Gabriel acquired Hubley.
    But it was in good shape and real cheap. Plus I needed a grader for my orange/gray #511 carryall set. The carryalls normally came with the older #481 grader(pictured on the green/white carryall). The 1805 is similar in shape over all to the 481 but made with hollow plastic tires, a lever instead of a steering wheel, a different style driver's compartment and it lacks the pivoting rear suspension. In other words cheaper. I put some rubber tires I had from a junk 481 I had on it. I'll probably get another 481 eventually, but for the price I couldn't pass it up. I need the #506 carryall set with the 51 Ford cab to complete the different carryall sets.
    Thanks,
    Bill

      Thank you so much, Brooch, I love graders also. I remember my father putting in seat of a grader after hours at a construction site when I was about 3. I've loved construction equipment since then.

      Thank you very much, jscott. This is one of my top favorites of the 500/510 series. It looked good and had a great play value with the grader load.

      Many thanks Apache, I'm gregariously grateful they were gracious enough to make a great grader also. They only had two other loads for the lowboy. I've shared the airplane already, the other came in a construction set that I need to get around to finish restoring. I think you'll like it.
