Just saved from the scrap pile they had an i beam bolted underneath it and was using it to grade farm drives.. but i was trying to find a model number im guessing a 40 or 44 and could be way off. Also what was the color used on these or close kubota / allis orange. Then where would be a place to buy cutting edges at for this i am gonna want a leading edge center. Any help would be great

Does look like a C44..... best hope for a cutting edge would be if it has a universal bolt pattern.

My limited info does not mention a C40 model.
They did have a C-42 model, still 4-yd to be pulled with an International I-9 or Case LA1 wheeled tractor.
Here's a couple of color pictures with paint, don't know if that's original color although I'm thinking it might be. And another pic of restored unit with D4

If it is a LaPlant-Choate is should be yellow(I painted my C45 old Cat yellow). If it is an Allis Chalmers then it should be AC orange.

C40 is the basic scraper. C42 is the two wheeled version and C44 is the 4 wheeled dolly type.
The one OM has pictured with the D4 looks kind of familiar

The 4020 will load it with the assistance of gravity in pre ripped dirt. Use the excavator and save tearing things apart and wearing out tractor tyres.

Looking at the site bruce oz listed is obvious the truth of old saying about Choate scrapers. "What ever you can get in it you can get out". Or something like that
