Adjustable gauge wheel for mower deck

摘要

An adjustable gauge wheel assembly is provided for use on rotary mower decks. The wheel and its axle are carried on an arm which is pivotally supported by a deck mounted bracket. The pivotal support is adapted to allow the arm to be shifted towards and away from the bracket. The axle includes a portion which protrudes through the arm for insertion into one of the plurality of vertically spaced openings in the bracket as the arm is shifted. The bracket therefore provides for vertical adjustment of the gauge wheel as well as a direct support against impact loadings encountered by the wheel. An over-center latch mechanism is provided to quickly and easily lock the arm in its adjusted position.
