I have recently designed and built another C model, using LEGO Technic set 42147, this is a fully functional model of a road grader. Given the limit parts I had, I am very happy with how this has turned out.
 
First and foremost, the design and building process was enjoyable and given the limited parts, some decisions needed to be made around what features were included. These are:
- Hand of God steering, via the grey knob on the front of the road grader.
- Blade lifting and lowering, via the black gear on the side.
 
One thing I did struggle with was getting the blade to stay up, what I ended up doing was adding a beam from near the rear wheels which locks this in to place via the gear inside the main body. I was hoping to add the rear rippers but ran out of parts. 
 
I am very happy with how this turned out and and it another model to add to me 42147 C model collection.
