Any one ever see a mechanical tilt mechanism like these pics???
New direct start and clutch time on old work horse 2U.
Check the weather guys, this is today and shirts sleeve weather on the central Ca. coast:)

OM - not only does she look like she has done a heck of a lot of work in the past, but her owner is keeping her up so she can do a lot of work in the future. That's the way to treat a Cat! GWH

Hey OM I have never seen a tilt like that before what kind is it . Does it work I would like to have one of those for my 2U it would make it real handy not to have to get off ever time you wanted to tilt the Blade It would speed up your work a lot to be able to angle the blade from the seat wow what will they think of next Thanks for the Pictures MTMike

Hi MTMike,
No, I don't know much about the tilt device. I have never seen another like it. No visible name plate or ID. There is a cover plate access on the outside but all the attachment screws were to buggered up to readily remove. This unit is not currently operating and the power cord (big one) was disconnected. I assume there is an electric motor driven gear drive or ball screw device to make it operate but don't know. I have put a few feelers out to see if someone can supply more info but nothing yet. Yes, it would sure improve blade operation.
I suspect this blade might have been military as they were always big on having the drag rippers installed.
