Lubrication and Maintenance
SEED TUbE GUARD/INNER SCRAPER
Seed tube guard protects seed tube and acts as inner scraper
for seed opener disc blades.
Remove seed tube and check for wear. Excessive wear on
seed tube indicates a worn seed tube guard. Replace seed
tube guard if it measures ⅝" or less at lower end. A new seed
tube guard measures approximately ⅞".
NOTE: No till planting or planting in hard ground
conditions, especially when planter is not equipped with
no till coulters, and/or excessive blade-to-blade contact
increases seed tube guard wear and requires more
frequent inspection and/or replacement.
Remove gauge wheel and disc blade from one side of row unit.
Lift up inner scraper approximately 90° to remove from slot
when replacement is necessary.
