[AT] Need advice on 3pt Tractor

[Richard Walker]

Here's a link to a photo of my shopbuilt trailing wheel attached 
behind a blade:

Thanks to long-time list member Don Bowen for hosting this image for 
me on his website.

Since it was a light 4' blade, an old wheelbarrow tire and rim 
sufficed.  Used scrap 4" channel for the frame, an old front wheel 
spindle and hub off a small car for the swivel pivot bearing, an 
acme-threaded shaft for the adjustment screw, an old cast iron 
irrigation gate valve handle for the adjusting wheel, and misc bits 
of scrap 3/8" plate for the remainder.  To borrow an apt phrase from 
Tom, "barnyard technology" in action.  All components came from my 
scrap pile, no cost except cutting torch gases and some arc welding rod.
