About the Weights
The 6in 80-row drill model has an extra (fifth) blockage
module that the other models (6in 40-row, 7.5in 32-row,
7.5in 64-row) do not require. It is mounted on the double
shoot blockage module mount
on the rear set of
weights . It needs to be dismantled and moved as per
the following instructions. If the implement you have does
not have this mount bracket, disregard references to it
and follow all other instructions.
Remove Rear Weight Set
1. If you have the double shoot 6in 80-row model:
Remove double shoot blockage module mount
keeping DICKEY-john
®
module attached and save
along with any hardware to remount. This will be
remounted in Step 5 to the angle tower bracket.
2. Remove the
5 ⁄
8
x9in bolts at either end of the two
center tower mount brackets that the rear weight
stack is bolted to (only left frame side is visible in
Figure 9). The U-bolt remains permanently
attached.
3. Secure lifting hooks or chains to the two mounts
on the top of the rear weight stack. (Take up slack
gradually to avoid deforming mounts. Minimize load
sway to avoid damage to nearby objects and the
drill.)
4. Hoist rear weight stack up and away from imple-
ment and place in storage along with all associated
hardware.
Reattach Mount Bracket and Module
Refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11
5.
If you have the double shoot 6in 80-row model:
Attach double shoot blockage module mount
bracket
with attached DICKEY-john
®
module
to upper set of holes in double shoot tower mount
angle bracket
(Figure 10) using two bolts cur-
rently in place on the tower bracket.
Note: This bracket must be centered to connect to all
seed hoses.
