Replace Gauge Wheel Caster and Install
Eyebolt Support Weldment
Refer to Figure 2
NOTE: To replace gauge wheel caster and
install eyebolt support weldment, the
planter will need to be blocked up so the
weight is off the tires. Blocks should have
a minimum support capacity of 4 tons.
1. Once unit is blocked up and weight is off
tires, remove tire (4) from hub (3). Re-
move bolt (10) and lock nut (9) securing
spindle to caster. Slide spindle (2) and
hub (3) out of caster (7).
2. Remove bolt (5) and lock nut (1) secur-
ing vertical shaft caster (6) to caster (7).
Caster (7) and pivot thrust washer (8)
should fall to ground. Discard caster (7).
Keep pivot thrust washer (8) for reuse.
!
CAUTION!
To avoid injury, use extreme caution when re-
moving caster (7) from vertical shaft (6). Caster
(7) is heavy and will fall once bolt (5) is removed.
3. Replace old caster (7) with new more
sturdy caster provided in kit. Attach cast-
er and washer (8) removed in step 2 to
vertical shaft caster (6) with bolt (5) and
lock nut (1) removed in step 2.
4. Reattach spindle (2) and hub (3) to cast-
er (7) with bolt (10) and lock nut (9) re-
moved in step 1. Replace tire (4) on hub
(3) with tire tread in same direction as
before. NOTE: Center of tire will align
below center of pin (6). Tire should
not sit off to one side. Tighten all bolts.
5. Repeat steps 1 - 4 on opposite side of
planter.
