Abstract
The supporting transport (or depth gauge) wheels of an agricultural implement are raised and lowered by means of a hydraulic-actuated piston cylinder which pivotally connects to one end of a bell crank lever made rigid with a pivot shaft rotatably journalled to the implement frame and to which shaft the wheel supports are also rigid. The opposite end of the piston cylinder pivotally connects to a cradle which has its near end pivotally connected to the other end of the bell crank lever and its remote end yieldably connected to the implement frame as by a pin and slot connection (or a pivoted link) which accomodates horizontal movement with little or no vertical displacement of said remote end in response to extension and retraction of the piston cylinder.
