• There is a cover plate between the drive
motor and the feed wheel yoke. When
the screws are removed, remove the
plate.
• Set all parts aside in the same place so
that none are lost and can be used to
reassemble the drive motor and feed
wheel assembly. When parts are
removed check for wear and damage and
replace as necessary. Check all screws
and nuts for worn, chipped, or missing
threads and replace as needed.
• Remove the screw and washer on the
end of the feed wheel shaft on the right
side of the machine.
• Remove the screws (5/8”-11) from the
feed wheel bearing on the right side of
the machine.
• There is a cover plate between the
bearing and the feed wheel yoke. Set it
aside with the other plate and screws.
• Loosen the setscrew in the collar and
remove the collar and the bearing.
• Lower the feed wheel using the two
jacks. Try not to lower it too fast to
prevent any damage to the feed wheel.
Be careful handling the feed wheel
because the blades may be sharp and
could cause injury, use leather gloves.
• Set feed wheel on end, set it on top of a
tube or pipe for the shaft end.
