Hi guys,
I've decided to start a new thread about the hydraulic quick attach gauge wheels I made. They started out as dedicated wheels for my Rotary Cutter, but at some point I came up with the idea to make them into a quick attach unit so I could use them on a number of implements as gauge wheels. So instead of dragging out the old thread, I've ended it with only pictures of the Brush Hog mod as I started out to do. I felt a new thread about these wheels as a stand alone item was in order to show how they fit other implements.
You can read about the original idea in this thread to get the background about the machining I did to make them.
Modify Brush Hog Some More
In the mean time, here are a couple photos to show how the project evolved into a stand alone Hydraulic Quick Attach Guage Wheels. You can see from these photos that the hydraulic cylinder is part of the unit. The cylinder has a double pilot operated check valve on it to keep the wheels in position.
I will show photos of how the unit fits onto the brush hog and also on the boxblade, and how the switchover is done. There are a couple of additions to the unit itself after these photos were taken.
