Splitter Makes It Easier To Repair Tractors
 ✖  |
Eugene Alt, Audubon, Iowa:"I built this splitter to make it easier to repair tractors. It consists of 14-in. wheels mounted on an adjustable axle made of square tubing. A Red Dog screw jack mounts on each side of the axle. I removed the cranks on the jacks and installed a nut so I can adjust height with a wrench. Wheel width can be changed with set screws on the axle. Steel plates on the jacks, and a pair of diagonal braces, bolt direct to the tractor frame.
"The key is to make both sides of the splitter exactly identical so it will roll evenly back and forth. Mine lets me roll a large tractor front end back and forth with one hand."
