Hey Lou, i know you will do a fine job on your grader. There is a lil geometry to that center pin....what i did....i made a rough bar and measured the holes at different intervals by swing the the moldboard back and forth, then i came back and drilled each hole, then made the actual bar. It lined up pretty good after putting everything back together. This was all freehand....i didn't draw anyhting up on the puter....so it was pretty much all eyeballed and pencil.
This lil gear motor, i believe is a 35:1, i got from robotmarketplace
