Bunker Tiller

We purchased a Honda FG110 to soften the bottom of the bunkers when they become too firm. Here was the problem, how do we keep the tiller from going too deep and tearing the bunker liner. I looked around the shop and found some 1" square tubing, 3/4" square tubing, 1/2" round bar, u-bolts and some gage wheels for a JD 757 (JD part# TCU18744). It's amazing what you can find around the shop. I attached the 1" tubing to the handle bar with the u-bolts. I drilled 3 sets of holes in the 3/4" tubing to make it adjustable. The gage wheels fit perfectly on the 1/2" round bar. The end of the 1/2" bar has holes with cotter keys installed to hold it all together. I used spacers and washers to get the 3/4" tubing space correctly. With the gage wheels set to the deepest setting the tiller goes about 3" deep.
