Dropping one end of an attachment on the 422/425

Where's Charlie???? 
I'm here. Of course all I did so far is talk about it. In the scrap heap I have a couple of trailer axles. My thought is someday to put a wheel bearing and hub between a female and male attach plate and a small cylinder to rotate the implement with the aux pto. Just thinking stage so far, and unfortunately Bubenberg's prototype maker is piled up with top dresser and linear aerator prototypes. Maybe this winter we'll get to play.

That's the trouble with Hans... all work and no play... those pictures of him riding the bucking PT are proof! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I think the rear wheel hub of a 89 chevy cavalier will work, too. I took one off once and it was only 3 or 4 bolts. A nice flat plate with the wheel hub on the other side ready to be welded to.

( Bob. Tell us what you would be doing with this capability. Knowing what you want to do with a design always helps with the invention. )

 If the ground is not level you could tilt the bucket so that you could dig level. If you wanted to create a slope from level ground you could tilt the bucket.

thats easy to do now, just turn the steering wheel. the short side is always higher,the long side digs in. if that isn't enough do it over again.pile the dirt on the high side and all you need,it's easy /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

You could also lower one side of an attachment by letting air out from the tires.

But if you have your wheels inside out, you need to let more air out. (You awake Fourteen? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif)
