Rear Packer Roller
Refer to Figure 8-8 on page 57:
The rear packer roller assembly should be free to float up
and down to follow the field terrain. The rear roller
wheels (#3) should turn freely. If the assembly does not
float or the wheels do not turn, investigate and remove
the cause.
The rear roller wheels (#3) will wear as they slip against
on another creating gaps between the roller wheels that
should be removed. Also, the paint between the roller
wheels will wear off in the first 20 hours of operation
creating gaps that should also be removed.
1.
Park tractor and seeder on flat level ground, slow
engine to an idle, and place gear selector in park or
set park brake.
2.
With tractor control lever, raise seeder and roller
wheels (#3) high enough to place support blocks (#4)
under both ends of the rear packer roller.
3.
Shut tractor engine off and remove switch key before
dismounting tractor.
4.
Place solid support blocks (#4) under the far
left-hand bearing support (shown) and under the far
right-hand skid shoe (not shown).
5.
If adjusting roller wheels on the NTS2509 or
NTS2511 seeder, place a 1 1/2" wide solid support
block (#5) under the middle bearing support.
6.
Restart tractor and lower seeder and rear packer
roller assembly until resting on the support blocks.
7.
Shut tractor engine off and remove switch key.
8.
Check rear packer roller assembly to make sure roller
clamps (#2) and roller wheels (#3) rotate freely. If
they do not rotate freely, repeat steps 2-7 above.
9.
Loosen 3/8"-16 hex nuts (#1) on all spike and plain
roller clamps (#2).
IMPORTANT:
The gap between rollers wheels (#3)
should be removed after the first 10 to 20 hours of
operation and as needed thereafter.
IMPORTANT:
Use only support blocks (#4 & #5) that
are made of solid hard wood or steel. Do not use
concrete blocks. Support blocks must be tall enough
to support spiked roller clamps (#2) above ground
and must also allow roller wheels (#3) and roller
clamps (#2) to turn freely.
