Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
Thanks John. Holy Questions Batman : ) The springs just act as a return and keep the wheel assy from rattling when in the retracted position. So you are pushing agains the springs to deploy or lower the wheels they are just heavy enough to do the job. The cams are located on the shafts with countersunk 3/8 - 16 flat allen head bolts / screws. I used some 1 1/8 hex 12L14 to make 1/2 - 13 bolts that thread into the end of the shaft They have an index mark that is straight up for up and down for down. you always turn clockwise as they were RH thread. I made the wrench about 12 inches long and it's easy to use I doubt it requires 15 ft lbs to lift the assy which is around 650 lbs loaded. yes the cams have a light coating of synthetic grease. The wrench hangs on a pin on the RH end of the bench, I thought you could see it better in the ad but it's hard to see. Here's a pic of the wrench in place. I've had the mechanism plan in the back of my mind for a number of years so I thought I'd try it on this. I'd use it again, it works well. I was surprised at what it cost though the materials were just under 200.00 so it's a bit pricey but I thought the novelty was worth it. : )
