- This kit replaces the bushing on a closing wheel arm with a bearing. It can be used on brand new planters and on planters that already have some wear to the closing wheel arm.
- Having the closing wheel arms tight is critical to keeping closing wheels centered on the seed trench and ensuring that your closing wheel can operate at peak performance.
- If your arm is worn, you will need to weld a bearing housing on to the outside of the tailpiece to hold a ball bearing.
- If the closing wheel arm is new, this is not necessary and saves a lot of cost and work.
If your planter is an early 7000 you should consider purchasing a new closing wheel frame. The curved tube that supports the closing wheel bearing shafts is very weak on these early frames. Any replacement frame will have a stronger tube. Please specify model of planter so that the correct kit is sent!
Price is per tailpiece (2 bearings/bushings included)
