For shipping, the seed tube hoses and rack (

dismounted and connected between the air box manifold
and the inner ends of the wing tubes.

Ends: The hose lengths and mounting hardware are
different for each end of the rack. The end with the
longer hoses connects to the wing tubes. The end
with the shorter hoses connects to the air box. The
air box end also has pivot holes
in the frame.
Bottom: At the front (wing) end of the rack, the
bottom side frame has a short rail
on each side.
Refer to Figure 51

on each side of the inner
rear portion of the parallel arm brackets. The
forward end of the rack rests on these and is free to
slide during vertical movement of planter
components.

The rear ends of the outside tubes of the seed tube rack
have large holes
to accept a pivot sleeve for mounting.
