I'm thinking 3 pc connecting rod so I can       add a sprocket later.       --------------------------------              Two separate unsprung wheeled jacks will only rarely share the tongue       weight.              I increased the ground footprint of the retractable mast end wheeled jack on       my shop crane by adding an outer pair of wheels on a longer axle. They no       longer caster well so I made a steering handle that attaches to the axle and       forces the wheels into line with my pull.              The first version had a hitch coupler on the end of the handle as a tow bar.       That worked well going forward unloaded but transferred all the pull to the       jack and its mount, and I couldn't back up, so the second version has a       separate rigidly attached coupler and a tee handle to pull on the caster       axle by hand but not with the tractor.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
