2 Replace Gauge Wheel Caster and Anti- Rotate Pins Refer to Figure 2 NOTE: To replace gauge wheel caster and and anti-rotate pins, the gauge wheels will need to be blocked up so the weight is off the tires. Blocks should have a minimum support capacity of 4 tons. 1. Once unit is blocked up and weight is off tires, remove tire (4) from hub (3). Remove bolt (10) and lock nut (9) securing spindle to caster. Slide spindle (2) and hub (3) out of caster (7). 2. Remove bolt (5) and lock nut (1) securing vertical shaft caster (6) to caster (7). Caster (7) and pivot thrust washer (8) should fall to ground. Discard caster (7). Keep pivot thrust washer (8) for reuse.! CAUTION! To avoid injury, use extreme caution when removing caster (7) from vertical shaft (6). Caster (7) is heavy and will fall once bolt (5) is removed. 3. Replace old caster (7) with new more sturdy caster provided in kit. Attach caster and washer (8) removed in step 2 to vertical shaft caster (6) with bolt (5) and lock nut (1) removed in step 2. 4. Reattach spindle (2) and hub (3) to caster (7) with bolt (10) and lock nut (9) removed in step 1. Replace tire (4) on hub (3) with tire tread in same direction as before. NOTE: Center of tire will align below center of pin (6). Tire should not sit off to one side. Tighten all bolts. 5. Repeat steps 1-4 on opposite side of planter. 23403 Figure 2 Replace Gauge Wheel Caster 402-188M 12/12/2005
Installation Instructions 3 Refer to Figure 3 1. Remove cotter pin and cylinder pin securing hydraulic cylinder to eyebolt weldment. Discard cylinder pin. 2. Remove cotter pin and cylinder pin securing opposite end of hydraulic cylinder to lower swivel caster weldment. Discard cylinder pin. 3. Reattach cylinder to eyebolt weldment and lower swivel caster using new cylinder pins provided in kit. Secure cylinder pins with cotter pins previously removed. NOTE: When installing new cylinder pins to reattach cylinders, note location of grease outlet holes in center of pins. Install pins so that holes are pointing upwards or towards the cylinder main body. 4. Repeat steps 1-3 on opposite side of planter. 5. Remove blocks supporting planter. 24004 Figure 3 Install Anti-Rotating Pins 12/12/2005 402-188M
4 Replace Idlers Refer to Figure 4 1. Detach meter from opener and set meter aside. NOTE: It is not necessary to detach hose from meter. 2. Detach spring from idler bracket weldment. Remove snap ring (4) from front idler (10). NOTE: It is not necessary to remove both snap rings. Discard snap ring (4). Keep spring for reuse. NOTE: If meter drive units have been timed for staggered drop on twin row spaced planters, do not remove drive chain from sprocket without first noting which sprocket tooth is up. Check that sprocket is timed with same tooth up when chain is reinstalled or re-time meters when finished according to the instructions in operator s manual. 3. On backside of drive mount weldment (2), remove bolt (6) and washer (8) securing idler pivot (3) and idler bracket weldment (1) to drive mount weldment (2). Keep bolt (6) and washer (8) for reuse. 4. Remove idlers (5 and 10), bushings (7 and 9), idler bracket weldment (1), and idler pivot (3). Discard idlers (5 and 10), bushings (7 and 9), idler bracket weldment (1), and idler pivot (3). 5. Turn sprocket by hand for two rotations. Insert meter drive adapter tool into hub of sprocket. NOTE: To test torque, remove chain from sprocket. Complete test with parts at temperatures of 65 degrees or higher. Using 5/8" socket and an inch-lb torque wrench, measure drive torque by rotating sprocket in normal direction of travel. NOTE: Meter drive units with torque readings in excess of 10 inch-lbs should be replaced. Units with torque variation, as sprocket is rotated, greater than 3 inch-lbs should be replaced. Order assmebly 403-117s, one per row as needed. NOTE: It is not necessary to completely remove chain from row unit while replacing idlers. 6. Secure idler pivot (3) and bushing (9) to drive mount weldment using bolt (6) and washer (8) removed in step 2. NOTE: DO NOT apply any lubricant or anti-sieze compounds to these parts when reassembling. 7. Attach idler bracket weldment (1) to idler pivot (3). Route chain through idlers (5 and 10) as idlers (5 and 10) are reassembled. 23405 Figure 4 Idler Assembly 23406 8. Place idlers (5 and 10) on idler bracket weldment. Secure idlers (5 and 10 ) to idler bracket weldment (1) with snap rings (4). 9. Reattach spring to idler bracket weldment (1) and replace meter. 10. Repeat steps 1-9 for all other openers. 11. Check meter timing on twin row spaced planters. 402-188M 12/12/2005
Installation Instructions 5 Install Hopper Water Guard Weldment Refer to Figure 5 1. Be sure hopper is empty. Remove hopper assembly from planter frame and support securely. NOTE: Before removing parts to install hopper water guard weldment, mark line on door guide along bottom of plastic hopper to note door height. This ensures door is replaced at same height. 2. Unscrew stop bolt (4). Remove door (3) from door guide (6). Keep stop bolt (4) and door (3) for reuse. 3. Remove the two side bolts (7) on both sides of hopper (1).
