Front Spike Roller Adjustment
(Gang Slide #2 Shown Positioned Fully Back)
Figure 3-1
Front Spike Roller Angle
Refer to Figure 3-1:
1.
Lower the seeder frame onto support blocks to keep
the front rollers just above ground level and allowing
them to move freely.
2.
Shut tractor down before dismounting. Refer to
“Tractor Shutdown Procedure”
on page 21.
3.
Remove bent pins (#6).
4.
If needed, readjust flange locknuts (#4) as follows:
a. Remove cotter pin (#8), flat washer (#9) and
clevis pin (#7).
b. With an extension, tighten locknuts (#4) until they
are snug against gang slide (#2) and then back-
off 1/3 turn (2 hex flats). Additional back-off may
be required if the gang slide does not move easily.
c. Replace clevis pin (#7), flat washer (#9), and
cotter pin (#8). Bend one or more legs of the cotter
pin to keep it from falling out.
5.
Operate roller angle lever (#1) to position front rollers
(#3) to the desired angle.
6.
Replace bent pins (#6) with one on each side of gang
slide (#2). Secure bent pins with hair pin cotters (#5).
7.
Start tractor, remove support blocks, and lower
seeder to ground level.

NOTE:
Gang slide (#2) is shown in its furthest back
position. In this position, both bent pins (#6) are in
front of the gang slide as shown. In all other
positions, one bent pin is in back of the gang slide
and the other is in front of the gang slide.
IMPORTANT:
Locknuts (#4) are factory adjusted to
allow gang slide (#2) to move easily with minimum
gap between the locknuts and gang slide.
Mud Scraper Adjustments
Figure 3-2
Mud Scrapers
Refer to
“Torque Values Chart for Common Bolt Sizes”
on page 72 when tightening hardware.
Refer to Figure 3-2:
Adjust Front Mud Scrapers
1.
With the front rollers off the ground, loosen 3/8"-16
hex bolts (#1 & #2) at both ends of the left front mud
scraper (#3).
2.
Rotate teeth of the mud scraper towards the front
roller to increase removal of mud and debris and
away if scraper teeth are interfering with the roller.
3.
Tighten the four 3/8"-16 GR5 hex head
bolts (#1 & #2) to the correct torque.
4.
Repeat steps 1, 2, & 3 above for the right front mud
scraper.
5.
Loosen hex flange locknuts (#4) and adjust front
scrapers (#3) left or right to align slots up with the
roller spikes. Rotate spike rollers one or more full
revolutions to verify spikes are not touching the
scraper teeth.
6.
Tighten 3/8"-16 hex flange locknuts (#4) to the
correct torque.
Adjust Rear Mud Scrapers
1.
Loosen 3/8"-16 hex locknuts (#5 & #6) at both ends
of the rear mud scraper (#7).
2.
Rotate teeth of mud scraper toward the front roller to
increase removal of mud and debris and away if
scraper teeth are interfering with the roller.
3.
Tighten the four 3/8"-16 GR5 hex head bolts and
locknuts (#5 & #6) to the proper torque.
