Wardview, LA | I rebuilt mine with all new blades, seed boots, closing wheel bearings, rubber gage wheels, shoup seed boot bushings with john deer bolts, needham press wheels, new seed boot springs and any opener bearings that did not look right or feel right several years ago. I did all of mine on the ground and it really was not all that bad if you stage it. Plan on doing the rear first to get your knowledge level up and do it it in one day. Take a day or two to rest your back and then do the front. When you do the front, have a gopher around to get the magic tools that you leave just out of reach. Drill the seed boot holes will slap wear you out and can get your wrist real easy if you are not careful.
You can knock the bearings out on the front right or left corners of the drill with ease - you need a good pair of snapring pliers, pliers, small flat screwdriver, 2 lb hammer, and a 1/2 or larger rod to knock the bearings out.
The gage wheels are easy to get apart but very difficult to put new ones on. I built a plate matching the outside diameter iof the gage wheel to fit on my press and it made it easy.
There is a post on here somewhere by me on the rebuild for some other tips. | |
