on the grader are still being completed and because it exceeds the $ 10,000 number that we used in the Capital Reserve Study, these expenses should be transferred to the Capital Fund. The road grader repairs are being done by AIS Construction Equipment are close to $ 17,500 for steering controls, hydraulic lines, brake lines, brake master cylinder, brake drums and all the labor and equipment needed to work on it. While we had budgeted in the Operating Fund these repairs of up to $ 10,000, new items such as additional drums and master cylinder were not budgeted for as it was found after the repair began. While the Capital Reserve Study states that we should be replacing the road grader in 2026, we believe we can get a few more years out of it rather than spending the estimated $ 120,000 on the acquisition of a different asset.
