General Information
The 1205-NT Marker is a center ground marking disk unit which
can be mounted on either the right or left side of the drill or both.
When mounted on both ends, the controls can be on separate
hydraulic circuits or, by the means of sequence valve, alternate
activation between markers from a single hydraulic circuit.
These option assembly instructions apply to the Markers listed
below:
113-532A End Wheel No-Till Dual Marker

Assembly Instructions
Refer to Figure 1:
If you have dual markers, the right hand and left hand assemblies
are identical as you receive them from the factory. The multiple
mounting slots in the assembly channel allow for the marker to
be attached to the right or left side of the drill with the proper
mounting brackets. Refer to the illustration for the correct mount-
ing bracket orientation and location for your drill’s row spacing.
The marker arms may need to be re-oriented in their attachment
to the hinges so that the break away bolt (#11) is oriented to-
wards the front of the drill. This is necessary so that the marker
will hinge rearward to clear excessive obstructions when the
break away bolt yields. This can be accomplished by removing
the break away bolt and the 1/2" pivot bolt (#12) from the hinge
assembly and flipping the arm over. Assemble the 1/2" bolt back
through the hinge pivot and replace the break away bolt in the
front hole. Attach the formed mounts (#10) to the marker assem-
blies with the 3/8" x 5" long bolts (#7), the 3/8" lockwashers (#8)
and the 3/8" nuts (#9). The left hand marker uses two straight bar
mounts (#2) to attach the inside end of the marker frame to the
mounting tabs on the drill’s gear box mount. These must be bolt-
ed to the drill first with two 1/2" x 1 1/2" long bolts (#1) and flange
locknuts (#3).
Remove the plastic shipping caps from the adapters on the hy-
draulic cylinders so they can vent, and manually unfold the mark-
er to it's extended position. Position the left marker on the front of
the drill's frame and fasten the inside end of the marker in place
with two 3/8" x 5" long bolts (#7), 3/8" lock washers (#8), and
3/8" nuts (#9). The other brackets are attached to the frame with
5/8" x 4" x 5 1/4" long u-bolts (#4), 5/8" lockwashers (#6), and
5/8" nuts (#5).
