Default Re: HYD QUICK ATTACH GAUGE WHEELS

Hey thanks Skunk!
I'll try to get them in the dirt asap. I've got a couple more pictures to share about the build.

Here are some more details like the self leveling links. They ended up being a very tight fit and there is no slop at all in the links. It turned out to be a super heavy duty construction...probably overkill for it's application. With the solid tires, cylinder and hoses, my guess is this thing weighs nearly 300lbs! It will make a great weight addition to my boxblade when raised up and not in use for leveling.

Notice how the hardened pins and bushings attach the system together. Each pin is drilled and counterbored from the outside with a Zerk fitting installed. There are internal grease lines that lead to the bushings and pivots. The other photo is a close up of the double pilot operated check valve mounted to the cylinder with hard lines. This will keep the wheels at the position I choose to put them. I got the dpocv from Mark Carter at CCM. I have used them on several of my projects and they work great.
