Wheel or Disc Scraper and Agricultural Implement Featuring Same

A scraper for cleaning a ground-engaging member of an agricultural implement, the wheel scraper comprising:

• a bowl shaped scraper member;
• a first support being arranged for attachment to the implement;
• a second support having a first end connectable to the first support, a second end distal to the first end, and a first slot-shaped hole passing through the second support adjacent second end thereof for receipt of a connecting element through said first slot shaped hole as part of a rotation-enabling connection rotatably supporting the scraper member on the second support, the first slot shaped hole having a first elongated dimension that exceeds a diameter of the connection element to allow sliding of the connection element back and forth along said slot shaped hole to reposition a rotational axis of the scraper member relative to the second support to adjust a position of the scraper member relative to the ground-engaging member of the implement;
• a fastener for coupling the second support to the first support;
• a second slot shaped hole provided in at least one of said first support and said second support for passage of the fastener through said second slot shaped hole to couple the second support to the first support, the second slot shaped hole having a second elongated dimension that exceeds a diameter of the fastener to allow sliding of the fastener back and forth along said second slot shaped hole to reposition the second support relative to the first support to further adjust the position of the scraper member relative to the ground-engaging member of the implement.

A scraper for cleaning a ground-engaging member of an agricultural implement, the scraper comprising:

• a bowl shaped scraper member;
• and
• a support arm arranged for attachment to the implement adjacent a mounting end of the support arm, and for rotatably carrying the bowl-shaped scraper member adjacent an opposing carrying end of the support arm in a position to scrape buildup from the ground-engaging member;
• wherein the support arm comprises a pair of slot-shaped holes therein adjacent the mounting end of the support arm, said slot-shaped holes being arranged to receive respective legs of a U-bolt for embracing about a frame member of the implement from a side thereof opposite the support arm in order to clamp the support arm to said frame member, and said slot-shaped holes being elongated in a common direction to allow relative sliding between the support arm and the legs of the U-bolt when said U-bolt is loosened to adjust a position of the scraper member relative to the ground-engaging member.
