DRILL MAINTENANCE
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life of any farm implement.
With careful and systematic inspection of your grain drill, you can avoid costly
maintenance, time and repair.
1. After using your drill for several hours, check all bolts to be sure they are tight.
Refer to the torque value chart in your operator’s manual.
2. A. Lubricate the seed cup drive sprocket shaft by coating with never seeze.
B. Lubricate all chains with chain lube.
C. Grease the clutch cam fittings. With the clutch jaws in the open position,
lubricate with slip plate or a chain lube between the jaws.
D. Grease the coulter arm pivots every 6 to 8 hours.
E. Grease the wheel arm pivot castings every 6 to 8 hours.
F. Grease coulter hub bearings and end wheel hub bearing before start of
each planting season.
3. Disk scrapers should be properly adjusted.
4. Check for the proper air pressure in the implement tires (9.00 x 24) 40 psi.
5. Check all chain idlers for proper adjustment. Check that each idler is taking up
excess chain slack. To adjust the chain in the drive axle tube, loosen jam nut
on top of axle tube and screw adjusting stud in to tighten and retighten jam nut.
NOTE: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN CHAINS. Adjust until the pull side of chain
has no more than a ¼ inch of movement per foot of chain from the centerline of
the pull.
