When we visited an agriculture museum in Georgia a few years back, I came upon this piece of machinery called a "Road Patrol" which was simply a road grader. In the spring washboard roads developed on the township roads and the best way to smooth them out was to do it yourself. Greene Township in Ransom County had one and sometimes Dad would search it out from somebody's trees where it had been parked. I would drive the tractor pulling it and he stood on the rear platform operating the depth controls of the blade. Memories.
