Stainless Steel Wear band
NOTICE
If wear band wears through or if meter is used
without wear band in place, meter housing may
be damaged.
Stainless steel wear band protects meter housing
from wear and is .030" thick. Replace wear band
when there is approximately .020" of wear in primary
wear area. Estimated life expectancy of stainless
steel wear band is 240-800 acres per row.
Lower brush
Lower brush moves seed down seed loading slots
to seed pockets, isolates seed in reservoir from
entering seed tube, and cleans seed loading slots.
Estimated lower brush life expectancy is 240-800
acres per row. Replace lower brush if bristles are
deformed or missing, or if there are cracks in brush
retainer.
Upper brush holds seed in seed disc pocket in seed
retention area.
Brush must apply enough pressure against seed
in seed disc pocket as disc rotates through seed
retention area to prevent seed from dropping out
of disc pocket. A damaged spot, excessive brush
wear, or foreign material lodged in brush may greatly
reduce meter performance.
Replace upper brush at 120-400 acres per row of
use or sooner if damage or excessive wear is found.
Installation Of Upper brush
Position upper brush into inner perimeter of seed
retention area. Make sure base of brush is tight
against bottom of meter housing. Install brush
retainer and three hex head screws. Tighten center
screw first, left screw second and right screw last.
NOTE: Use GD11122 upper brush retainer for
soybean and cotton discs. Use GD8237 upper
brush retainer for milo/grain sorghum discs.
