Abstract:
A tractor implement for grinding surface pavement in removing paint lines adapted to be attached to a tractor with a frame, a tractor implement control, and a tractor power take-off, comprising,an implement first frame, a rod mounted orthogonally to the tractor frame and passing rotatably through the implement first frame, a first frame lever bar extending from the implement first frame and mechanically connected to the tractor control such that rotation of the tractor control causes the implement first frame to rotate, therein providing a pitch adjustment in the implement first frame relative to the tractor sufficient to move the implement first frame between a travel position with the implement lifted above underlying pavement and an operational position with the implement lowered toward the pavement, a grinder brush rotatably mounted on the first frame and driven transverse to tractor travel by mechanical connection to the power take-off, means for adjusting the grinder brush into engagement and disengagement with the pavement while the first frame is maintained in operational position.
