Maybe he is using it to drive the pumps little shaft that sticks out of the back of it.
Then you do not have to flip the charge pump.

I've often thought about making a grader (mostly for show) and would do it like the Ford 8n setup, this would eliminate alot of issues since the tractor wouldn't be backwards.

I was thinking something similar. Stretch a cub and build a mini Huber Maintainer.

It certainly would be easier to just extend the frame of the cub and put a belly blade on it. But it wouldn't look like a motor grader. The charm of the one pictured here is that it looks the part.

That's what I was thinking. It would be running in the correct direction.

Had to google Huber Maintainer. Neat.

Sitting here with a bad cold, feeling crappy, with the upstairs bathroom shower in Durock waiting to be tiled. Was supposed to do that this week. Just ain't happening.

It's fun to talk about these custom builds, and dream a bit about doing something similar. I appreciate all the comments and ideas. Keep 'em coming.

The grader pictured in the first post would be such an ambitious project to duplicate, pretty intimidating. Not to mention expensive.

My reason for doing it like Ford would be that it would look like something that could have been purchased back then. The other grader is cool but it looks like someone made a grader and used a couple parts from a Cub vs looking like a conversion kit that could have been purchased from the factory.

The Ford conversion is one I have not seen in person. Years ago a friend had a Huber, think you had to stand to operate it. I've seen a few of the conversions on for Farmall M's.

This is what have had for the last 60+ years. DOT used to pull them with trucks. It actually does a nice job of cleaning ditches and grading roads.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
