About 7 Minutes of Pushing Beech Firewood with the ole GT-14

[MWR 321]

I think this will be less work than loading all this firewood in a wagon and hauling it to the stack.  I hope to be able to pick up the wood, turn around and put it in the round stack.  When it gets to far away from the stack, I plan on using the Wheelhorse and push it closer.

 

If anyone is interested, I may post a video of building the round firewood stack.

Looks like I may have to "borrow" Cleat's blade linkage.  Remove the chain and put in a solid bar, because I need some down pressure on the blade when I'm pushing firewood.

 

I'm wondering how the linkage would work if it was made like this, connecting to a pin at the rock shaft and having a slot to hook to the blade.  I was thinking that I could hold down on the lift lever and put down pressure on the blade, and then when I didn't need down pressure, just raise it enough so the blade could work up and down in the slot.

My blade has a part like that on it.  Came that way.  It works for down pressure.  It's item 17 on this diagram

Well shoot.  I thought I'd made a breakthrough in Wheelhorse technology. 

 

Back to the ole drawing board.

 

I can't view your blade part, so I'll just have to take your word for it.

I don't know why that didn't appear as link.  You can copy and paste it in your browser.  It's a PDF file from the manual section of the forum.

 

The drawing you have made is similar to the link part on mine.  It is not slotted though.  2 holes attached with pins.
