Determine Ground Drive Location

These instructions do not specify a precise location for
mounting the new ground drive, due to the wide variety
of factory configurations and end user modifications.

The hose connections to the fertilizer feed line, strainer-
to-pump line and pump-to-distribution manifold permit
considerable flexibility in placement of the strainer and
pump.

The strainer (on a new mount) requires a vertical sur-
face with mounting holes, typically the inside or outside
of either plate of the wing drive shaft bracket. Unless
you add hose, it needs to be within existing hose length
of the feed line.

The optimal placement for the drive unit itself is halfway
between rows (row units or row unit pairs in twin-row),
and within hose length of the strainer and manifold. If
you add hose, you have more flexibility.

These instructions assume that the strainer is mounted
inside the wing drive shaft brackets, on the inboard
plate, and the ground drive assembly is mounted about
a foot outboard of the wing drive shaft brackets.
