Seed Meter Brush Replacement
See the parts manual for current brush replacement
part numbers.
Tufted Brush Replacement
1. Remove and save both bolts (1) and nuts.
2. Remove the tufted brush assembly (2), and
replace with a new assembly.
3. Insert the bolts and start the nuts. Carefully
tighten each nut just until there is no play under
the screw heads.
4. Add a half turn to the nuts.
Fracture Risk:
Do not tighten the fasteners to normal
torque or the plate may fracture.
Strip Brush Replacement
Equipment Damage Risk:
Do not loosen or remove any of the bolts (3)
retaining the brush holder.
1. Insert the flat blade of a large screwdriver into the
slots of the brush holder snaps (4).
2. Turn each snap clockwise to release the brush
holder (5).
3. Be prepared to catch the drop brush (6) which
will fall loose.
4. Slide the brush holder left and up to free the front
edge from under the washer (7).
5. Remove the brush holder.
6. Remove used strip brushes (8) from the holder
by sliding them down out of the grooves.
7. Insert replacement strip brushes in the grooves
at the holder bottom so the notched ends (9) are
at the bottom.
8. Insert the brush holder and check the strip brush
positioning.
a. The ends of the long brush must fit snugly into
the meter housing grooves at the top (10) and
lower rear (11).
b. The bottom end of the short brush must fit snugly
in the lower front housing groove (12).
c. If any significant force is required to seat the
brush holder, a strip brush is likely too high or too
low.
9. When the strip brushes fit correctly, position the
drop brush (6) and seat the brush holder (5).
10. Starting with the bottom snap, swing the snaps
(4) back into place.
