Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A kit for converting a tandem arrangement into a single-wheel arrangement for a towed agricultural machine includes an adapter with an attachment flange and fastener holes formed in this flange for the attachment of the attachment flange to a machine frame of the towed agricultural machine, a supporting axle mount formed on the attachment flange, a single-wheel axle arranged on the attachment flange, and a wheel flange arranged on the single-wheel axle for attaching a wheel rim.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A kit for converting a tandem arrangement into a single-wheel arrangement for a towed agricultural machine, comprising: a machine frame, a supporting axle protruding from an outer side of the machine frame, a tandem axle carrier of the tandem arrangement, the tandem axle carrier coupled to two wheel rims, an adapter with an attachment flange and fastener holes formed in the attachment flange for the attachment of the attachment flange to a machine frame of a towed agricultural machine to replace a tandem axle carrier, a supporting axle mount formed on the attachment flange to accommodate the supporting axle, a single-wheel axle arranged on the attachment flange, and a wheel flange arranged on the single-wheel axle for attaching one of the two wheel rims. 2. A towed agricultural machine, for the selective operation in a tandem arrangement or a single-wheel arrangement, comprising: a machine frame, and a supporting axle protruding from each of two sides of the machine frame, a tandem axle carrier coupled to two wheel rims, an adapter including; an attachment flange and fastener holes formed in the attachment flange for selective attachment to the machine frame, a supporting axle mount formed on the attachment flange to accommodate the supporting axle, a single-wheel axle arranged on the attachment flange, and a wheel flange arranged on the single-wheel axle for attaching one of the two wheel rims, and wherein the tandem axle carrier and the adapter can selectively be exchanged to attach to the supporting axles. 3. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the attachment flange comprises a first side which is a flat plane and a second side opposite to the first side, the fastener holes extending from the first side to the second side, and the surface of the first side is completely disposed on and attached to the machine frame. 4. The towed agricultural machine of claim 2 , wherein the attachment flange comprises a first side which is a flat plane and a second side opposite to the first side, the fastener holes extending from the first side to the second side, and the surface of the first side is completely disposed on and attached to the machine frame.
