I was born in 1952 and those particular graders that you have right in front of you now are exactly the ones that they used to use to plow the snow back in the day
Here is Vegas, and being an operator for 40 years, I have seen 1 16 blade, and you have 4, and I have never seen a 24 blade in the wild, and you have 3, got to get out a little more
921 has the rebuilt engine going for it so I would try and see if it starts and test other components to see what works, but 923 has the circle and the mouldboard. It all comes down to cost/benefit ratio. How much do you put into a machine if you want to try and sell it whole. If you are just going to part it out and scrap part of it then I would only put enough into it to get engine, transmission, hydraulics working (not really necessary because you can rebuild the cylinders) and/or tested. Brakes? see if you can release them if they are keeping the graders from moving.
I have no doubts, You will get them running and move under their own power, Great video, Thumbs up, whats with the dump truck chassis in the background? nother video, another day
Do you ever sell complete machines? If you do then it only makes sense to put 923 back together as fully as possible so a person interested in buying it can see its functionality which always gives the machine more value, IMHO. Getting its sister machine running is a win, win as well but as a parts machine! Good luck and job... If you keep lifting items you know can hurt you you will pay a dear price, cost as you age..

Do you have a website? How can I buy parts from your biz?
Main shop phone 541-447-2488
You should mount a toolbox on your forklift
Great idea
Do you suppose that the mice were using Copenhagen?
Great reference to "Black Dog"

What’s nice is the tires are only flat on the bottom
Boss asked me why I was dragging that chain. I told him it was easier than pushing it.
👍👍👍👍👍
