Roll-over scraper

[RobertN]

I am posting pictures of my roll-over scraper in response to the "Motorcross track tools" thread. They are handy scrapers, but tend to be expensive than box scrapers, heavier, and not seen as much with home users.

The roll-over scraper can be placed in three positions. There is a large lever sticking up from it that releases a lock. The scraper itself pivots forwards or backwards.

Position one is for scarcify. This one is all rippers! Although mine is a smaller 52" model, I can still sink rippers 8-10" in the ground.

Position two rotates the scraper unit to a forward scraping position. This allows it to work much like a regular scraper box, without the rippers coming in to play.

Position three rotates the scraping edge to the rear. This allows it to be used to scrape going in reverse, push piles, or "doze". If you go forward while in this position, it is excellent for smothin and finish work.

There are 10 pictures, and I will try my best to explain them...

This first picture is of the roll-over scraper in the ripper position. Note the rippers are facing down, while the box side is facing up.

Rippers down, picture from back of tractor. This really shows the scraper portion facing up too.

Here is the entire tractor. Roll-over scraper has rippers down

Yes, I know about the hoses hanging down... I have the stuff to fix it... I know I would not get that one past the TBN crowd /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Here is the scraper in position to scrape forward. Note the trip lever sticking up(the handle is out of the picture). Also note the top and bottom cutting edges. The top cutting edge comes into play when the scraper rolls over and faces backwards, becoming the lower cuttin edge.

This picture is from the side, ready to scrape forward. Note rippers now face the rear...

This picture shows the scraper from the rear, while in the forward scraping position. Note rippers, actually a lot more ripper than my 19hp can pull /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

This is the side of the scraper. To the top you can see the partially engaged latch. In the middle, behind what is left of the "Earthcavator" sticker, is the actual pivot point(same on other side of too)

This picture shows the unit rotated to the third position. Note the rippers face forward now. The scraper itself faces to the rear.

This pictures is from the back, showing the scraper portion ready to scrape in reverse, or "doze". It works soo much better for this purpose than a regular scraper box.
