    Abstract: A tractor implement to grind surface pavement in removing paint lines is mounted on a tractor side and driven by a tractor power take-off. An implement first frame is supported rotatably on a rod extending orthogonally from the tractor. A rotatable tractor control mechanically connected to the implement first frame causes it to rotate on the rod, therein providing an implement adjustment in pitch and lifting and lowering the implement between a travel position and an operational position. The implement first frame connects pivotably to an implement second frame. A first hydraulic cylinder on the implement first frame parallel the rod connects to the implement second frame such that actuation of the first hydraulic cylinder causes the implement second frame to pivot about a second frame central axis therein providing the second frame an adjustment in roll. A grinding brush is mounted transversely to the implement second frame.
