Waldron, MI | I've always just done it from below. Yes, you'll end up a little sore from lying on your side under the thing but rebuilding one really isn't all that bad. Do all you can from the top/back and just work through it. While you're at it, check the boot bolt holes for slop. Correct it either with Needham's kit (drilling out the boot and using bushings to keep it tight) or one from Craft Air Systems ( drill out hole on arm and insert bushing). I just did our 1560 with the Craft System and it worked well. Also, if you haven't done this rebuild job before, please know that you do not have to take apart the gauge wheel arm and opener bearing to get the blade off. Use a strap to hold the closing wheel and seed lock wheel arms up, remove the gauge wheel and move the gauge wheel depth arm to the rear. You'll be able to slip the old blade off and new one on without having to reassemble the bearings on each unit. | |
