  • Publication number: 20020043058
    Abstract: A wheel assembly, mounted at two points by clamps, on a line trimmer drive shaft, which has two wheels. The assembly utilizes two L-shaped metal legs, bolted to the lower clamp, which allows mounting over the existing trimmer shield or “toe guard” and unimpeded use of the “bump cap” or “tap-n-go” line feed function of the trimmer. The L-shaped design also allows the use of shorter legs while still providing adequate clearance, and a more compact design. The second clamp on the trimmer drive shaft is located above the wheels and axle of the assembly and connects to the assembly with a two-piece metal strap which has bolt-holes at regular intervals. By changing bolt placement through the two-piece strap, the operator can adjust the entire trimmer to a comfortable working height.
