Drive-Line Shear Pin
Refer to Figure 90
The spirol pin
that connects main transfer shaft
collar to the transmission shears if an excessive load
is put on the shaft.
Infrequent or improper lubrication causes binding of
moving parts within the planter. This binding can cause
the spirol pin to shear, preventing more serious damage
to other planter parts.
Machine Damage / Nuisance Shear Risks:
Do not use arbitrary spirol pins. Replace sheared pins with
cotter pins of the same size. Strong pins may fail to shear,
causing more serious damage elsewhere. Weaker pins are
prone to nuisance shears. Refer to current Parts Manual for
correct spirol pin replacement part number.

Marker Shear Bolt Replacement
Refer to Figure 91

designed to fail a shear bolt
at the fold, pivot on a
second bolt (not visible in Figure), and swing back.
The shear bolt is a hex head cap screw, 5 ⁄

in
Grade 5, Great Plains part number 802-012C, plus a
5 ⁄
16
-18 lock nut, Great Plains part number 803-011C.
Note: If an exact replacement is not immediately
available, temporarily substitute an M8x1.25 Class
8.8 bolt and nut.
Install a replacement shear bolt on the vertical face on
the side opposite from the pivot bolt. Do not use a higher
grade bolt, or marker hang-ups may result in machine
damage. Do not use a lower grade bolt, or you may
experience nuisance shears.
Marker Grease Seal Cap
If grease seal cap for marker-disk-hub bearings is
damaged or missing, disassemble and clean hub.
Repack with grease and install new seal or grease cap.
