Re: Another Guage Wheel Example
Thanks to you all for the kudos. The holes for the adjustable links do indeed line up for stowage. I hadn't really given the storage of the links much thought because I only use the rig on our own property but, I could easily add a couple of brackets to hold the links - good idea.
Here is a pic of my fork attachments for holding logs and/or trees. These have been the best thing that I have done for my back since I bought my tractor. I'm sure there are improvements to be made but, so far they have done very well. It would be nice to have a little more grip on the trees to keep them from sliding around while cutting them with a chain saw. |

Re: Another Guage Wheel Example
Here's another pic that shows the bracket detail a little better for the stowage position.
I graded the driveway today and the guage wheels really do aid in getting better results and saving time. If anyone is interested, I probably still have my drawings and some of the specs. I would be happy to share them although, I'm not sure how complete they are - I actually did these projecs last fall and am just now getting the pics after bringing the equipment out of storage. |

Re: Another Guage Wheel Example
Yes indeed,
An excellent quality job making those gauge wheels. I too recommend making a bracket to hold your adjustable turnbuckles so they remain right on the boxblade or gauge wheels, but you could always throw them into your tool box or something. Great job and super nice work!

Re: Another Guage Wheel Example
YUP, Beeeeautiful work! Great idea.
I'm eyeing those screw-link adjusters and thinking, "wow hydraulic cylinders would fit real easily". Good job! Looks factory fresh.
