Adams No. 8 Road Grader
The Adams-built series of graders were by many brands of tractors to smooth out roads, including some of the early industrial John Deeres.

I'm sorry to say that I don't have much information on the Adams graders. I just happened to run across one that was for sale at Ytmag.com. I inquired, and was given some more pictures of this very good condition grader. It is, as I said above, a Number 8 grader. The pictures I have seen of Adams graders in action have been No. 6.
