All this gauge wheel talk got me motivated, the attached is the almost finished result of me trying to come up with something that can be transferred to my Box blade.
Had it all planed out thinking I could weld the receivers to the top of the channel with a small piece of channel welded to the front making a box for the receivers to sit on. Built the wheels then realized if I put the receivers on top of the channel I wouldn't be able to turn the rake around.
Plan B, involved the cutting torch and angling the receivers up in back slightly so my already fabricated wheels would work and I could still turn the rake all the way around. About all I have left is a little paint and adding two receivers to my Box blade.
The trailer stands adjust the height of the wheels but wished I had put the support tube lower. They will be fine on the Box Blade but real close to being too long for the rake.
