Dallas Center IA 515-720-2463 | I fully agree with NMO RedPower about the closing wheel change over.
You will have the much better later bearing. Probably last twice as long as the standard roll pin bearing.
Plus - Big PLUS - About one hundred times easier to change.
About $16- per row. I got mine from Shoup. Probably others sell them.
Instead of driving out that roll pin. Then getting the old wheel out of the mounting.
You just remove a 5/8" nut and slide the wheel off.
On my 7000 soybean planter, if I need to replace a closing wheel. - That row gets a new Closing Wheel Arm, and two new Bolt-on style, big bearing closing wheels, mounted with the stud kit.
Also the deal that mounts the gauge wheels with a set screw vs the factory roll pin. Again a whole lot easier to do.
My 7000 has been 100% set screw on the gauge wheels since the 16" row rebuild in 2004.
And last put Jamison Contact Wheel Drive on. Much MUCH better than the factor ground drive.
Unless you really want to get nice and put Rawson Hydraulic Drive on.
I have 100% faith in the Finger Meters and Kinze Brush Meter. Would not put the PP vacume deal on if they paid me to do it.
