Lubrication and Maintenance
Stainless Steel wear Band
NOTICE
If wear band wears through or if meter is used
without wear band in place, meter housing may be
damaged.
Stainless steel wear band protects meter housing
from wear and is .030" (7.6 mm) thick. Replace wear
band when there is approximately .020" (5.08 mm) of
wear in primary wear area. Estimated life expectancy
of stainless steel wear band is 240-800 acres (97-324
hectares) per row.
Lower Brush
Lower brush moves seed down seed loading slots to
seed pockets, isolates seed in reservoir from entering
seed tube, and cleans seed loading slots.
Estimated lower brush life expectancy is 240-800
acres (97-324 hectares) per row. Replace lower brush
if bristles are deformed or missing, or if there are
cracks in brush retainer.
Upper brush holds seed in seed disc pocket in seed
retention area.
Brush must apply enough pressure against seed in
seed disc pocket as disc rotates through seed retention
area to prevent seed from dropping out of disc pocket. A
damaged spot, excessive brush wear, or foreign material
lodged in brush may greatly reduce meter performance.
Replace upper brush at 120-400 acres (49-162 hectares)
per row of use or sooner if damage or excessive wear is
found.
Installation Of Upper Brush
Position upper brush into inner perimeter of seed
retention area. Make sure base of brush is tight
against bottom of meter housing. Install brush retainer
and three hex head screws. Tighten center screw first,
left screw second and right screw last.
NOTE: Use GD11122 upper brush retainer for
soybean and cotton discs. Use GD8237 upper
brush retainer for milo/grain sorghum discs.
