ABSTRACT:
A height-adjusting assembly for wheels of an implement such as a tiller having an implement handle attached to a base and extending upwardly and rearwardly from the base, and having an adjustment bar for the wheels disposed adjacent the bracket. A locking mechanism selectively interconnects the adjustment bar and bracket, and includes a remote control wheel-adjusting handle movably mounted on the implement handle and having a manually-actuated portion remote from the connection of the bar and bracket for selectively fixing the wheels at a predetermined adjusted height. The locking mechanism includes a lock pin movably mounted on the bracket and selectively connected to the bar, and the wheel-adjusting handle includes an elongate rod having one end connected to the lock pin, the other rod end providing the remote manually-actuated portion. The bar includes a plurality of longitudinally spaced apertures, the lock pin being selectively withdrawn from and inserted in the apertures upon actuation of the elongate handle rod. A compression spring between the bracket and lock pin tends to urge the pin into the bar apertures. The remote manually-actuated portion of the handle rod is located adjacent a hand-gripping assembly at the top of the implement handle.
