Remove the landwheel drive shaft, and mount the
motor [46] in line with the metering unit input

land drive connection point otherwise any half
width clutch (if fitted) may not function correctly.
Fit the shaft

Shorten or otherwise modify the existing landwheel
drive shaft/coupling as necessary, to connect the
motor drive shaft to the metering unit. Ref. Fig. 9

wheel is being driven forward.
