Box Scraper Fitted With Transport Wheels

Box Scraper Fitted With Transport Wheels Doug Creswell recently bought a Brinly tow-behind box scraper designed to be pulled behind a riding mower “It works great on my crushed rock driveway But it didn’t have wheels and couldn’t be transported from my barn to a work site without scraping along the way ” he says “I contacted the company to ask if they offered a wheel attachment kit to solve the problem They said ‘no’ and didn’t seem interested in pursuing the matter So I designed and made my own It works great My bet is that others who have bought a scraper like mine would like to know how to add wheels ” He added a pair of 6-in rubber wheels to each side of the scraper mounting them on a 1/4-in thick steel bar made by cutting a 3-pt hitch stabilizer bar down to about a 10-in length Each bar is fastened to the scraper by a double-nutted bolt that runs through a hole drilled into the scraper Creswell drilled 2 more holes a few inches apart one above the other at the back of the scraper and also drilled a corresponding hole in each bar A bolt can be inserted through either hole in order to change the position of the wheel “I run a bolt through the top hole to put the scraper on the ground and through the bottom hole to lift the box off the ground for transport ” says Creswell who adds that he has a diagram of the modification and would be happy to email it to anyone who’s interested Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Doug Creswell 16401 Camalo Dr Mount Airy Md 21771 ph 410 489-5832; doug creswell@gmail com
