2 Replace Gauge Wheel Caster and Install Eyebolt Support Weldment Refer to Figure 2 NOTE: To replace gauge wheel caster and install eyebolt support weldment, the planter 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 402-181M 12/12/2005
Installation Instructions 3 Refer to Figure 3 1. Measure eyebolt threads from bottom of weldment to bottom of eyebolt plate. Record measurement to ensure eybolt is replaced at same length. 2. Remove cotter pin and cylinder pin securing hydraulic cylinder to eyebolt weldment. Discard cylinder pin. Keep other parts for reuse. 3. Place eyebolt support weldment up under plate against eyebolt. NOTE: Eyebolt should rest against support weldment. Using center punch, mark holes where support weldment bolts to swivel caster mount. 4. Remove cotter pin and cylinder pin securing opposite end of hydraulic cylinder to lower swivel caster weldment. Discard cylinder pin. Keep other parts for reuse. 5. Remove hydraulic cylinder from parallel arm weldment. A B NOTE: It is not necessary to disconnect hydraulic hoses during installation of eyebolt support weldment. However, disconnecting hydraulic hoses may make installation easier. 6. Remove eyebolt weldment from swivel caster mount. Discard eyebolt. Keep other parts for reuse. 7. Drill out marked holes using 17/32" drill bit. 8. Attach eyebolt support weldment using two 1/2-13 x 2 3/4 bolts, two 1/2 lock washers, and two 1/2-13 hex nuts. 9. Install new eyebolt weldment and adjust to length recorded in step 1. Tighten eyebolt securely. Reattach hydraulic cylinder to lower swivel caster weldment and eyebolt weldment 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. 10. Repeat steps 1-9 on opposite side of planter. 11. Remove blocks supporting planter.

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.

If not cut already, cut spiral hose wrap in four pieces. One piece will measure 4 foot, one piece will measure 3 foot, and the remaining two pieces will measure 1 foot each. NOTE: When wrapping hoses, only fertilizer hose may be left out of hose wrap. 2. Using the 3 foot section, wrap all hydraulic lines and electrical harness lines between left-hand side toolbar/wing and center mainframe. 3. Start wrapping directly below fold cylinder rod pin. Continue to wrap hoses up to the hose guide on the toolbar pivot pin. 4. Using the 4 foot section, wrap all hydraulic lines and electrical harness lines between right-hand side toolbar/wing and center mainframe. 5.

Roll Pin Weldment Pivot Shaft Figure 15 Transport Support Hook Weldment 23421 Figure 16 Spiral Hose Wrap 23418 Refer to Figure 17 6. If fertilizer hose is left out of hose wrap, route fertilizer hose along front of the hydraulic lines crossing below tongue. All hoses must be routed through hose clips forward of opener mounts to avoid piniching when the wings flex up and down. Figure 17 Fertilizer Hose 12/12/2005 402-181M
10 Refer to Figure 18 7. Remove 3/8-16 x 2 3/4 bolt from marker pivot pin. Secure 13/16 hose clip to pivot pin using removed bolt. Using hose clip, secue hydraulic hose that goes to gauge wheel lift cylinder. 8. The two 1 foot sections will wrap hydraulic hoses going to gauge wheel lift cylinder. Start wrapping hoses from hose clip out toward cylinder. 9. Repeat steps 4 and 5 on opposite side of planter. 23419 Figure 18 Hose Clip and Spiral Hose Wrap Refer to Figure 19 10. Cover hoses entering pullbars with vinyl sleeves - shiny side of sleeve against hoses. Position hose sleeve with 10" of sleeve inside pullbar and 14" outside. This covers hoses passing through tongue and hitch area. Secure sleeve in place with velcro strips and use a cable tie at each end to keep it from sliding. 11. Wrap hoses exiting pullbars with vinyl sleeves - shiny side of sleeve against hoses. Sleeve will extend 2-3" past support ring below pullbar pivot pin. Use cable tie at each end to keep sleeve in place. IMPORTANT! This is the end of instructions for the YP1225 and YP1625 Base Kit Updates.
