Valve in/out couplers

• Wheel motor - $250 - use quick coupling for interchangeability of motor, shared between devices
  • Requires fabrication of quick coupler mechanism - equivalent of bicycle quick release except much stiffer
  • MicroTrac will be required for use on many occasions, so wheel motor, though quick release, should be dedicated to MicroTrac. Another motor, used for MicroTrac auger, should be shared.
• Control valve, 3 body, SAE 12/16 In/Out, SAE 10 work ports, $200 - 25 gpm, # SAE 12/16 IN/OUT ports, SAE 10 work ports
• 3.0 inch cylinder - SAE 8 outlets - $45
• 2 bearings - 1 7/8" - $20 ea
• 2 double split collars - 1 7/8" - $7 ea
• Fittings and hose. Use quick couplers on motors and cylinders

• • Motor - has in/out plus a case drain

• • • 2 - SAE 10 to 1/2 NPTM straight - $1.89 ea
    • 1 - SAE 4 to 1/4 NTPM - $0.95
    • 2 - 1/2 NPT quick coupler pair - $16 ea
    • 1 - 1/4 NPT quick coupler pair - $12

    • 2 - quarter hex nip

• • Valve - has in/out plus 3 identical work port pairs

• • • 6 - SAE 10 to 1/2 NPTM straight (as above) - $1.89 ea
    • 6 for work ports and 2 for in/outlet - 1/2 NPT(F) quick coupler pair - (note that quick couplers fit just about exactly in allowed space of 1.5" between adjacent ports) - $16 ea
    • 1 - SAE 12 inlet to 1/2 NPTF straight swivel - $3.79
    • 2 (one for inlet, one for outlet) - 1/2" NPTM elbow - $2.75
    • 1 - SAE 16 outlet to 3/4" NPTF straight - $5.25

Pulverizer

Note: can convert Rototiller to pulverizer, and auger (posthole, planting auger, mixer), according to 'lifesize erector set' philosophy. This can be done by exchanging the motor for a faster one, and using a different set of tines.
