Maintenance

Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life of any implement. With careful inspection and routine maintenance, you can avoid costly down time and repair.

1.After using your Overseeder for several hours, check all bolts to be sure they are tight.

2.Lubricate areas noted in the “Lubrication” section.

3.Adjust idlers to remove excess slack from chains. Clean and use chain lube on all roller chains as needed.

4.Feed cup drive sprocket should be oiled in its square bore. Move feed cup adjustment lever away from sprocket as far as possible in order to get oil back into square.

5.Always maintain proper air pressure in turf tires.

Storage

Clean, inspect, service and make necessary repairs to the seeder when parking it for long periods and when parking it at the end of a working season. This will help ensure the seeder is ready for field use the next time you hook-up to it.

1.Completely clean the seed box of seed and other debri before storing.

2.Lubricate and adjust all roller chains and fittings.

3.Feed cup drive sprocket hub should be oiled in its square bore. Squirt oil on to the square feed cup shaft and move feed cup adjustment lever back and forth in order to get the oil back into the square bore. This is most important before putting the Overseeder in storage.

4.Store the Overseeder and its attachments inside if possible to extend the Overseeder’s life.

5.When in storage, lower the Overseeder with rollers on a board or hard surface and adjust the parking stand to properly support the seeder.

6.Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to prevent rust.

7.Replace all damaged or missing decals.

8.Check knives for wear and replace if necessary.

9.Inspect Overseeder for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust or replace as needed.

10.Drain gear case and chaincase oil. Drain oil in gear case by removing plug from the bottom side of the rotor housing. Drain oil in chaincase by removing oil level plug and fill plug.

Individual Knife Replacement

The following instructions are for replacing only a few bent and/or broken knives on the rotor without removing the rotor from the Overseeder frame. It is best to remove the rotor from the frame if replacing all knives. See “Rotor Maintenance” on this page to replace all knives.

Rotor Maintenance

It is best to remove the rotor knife assembly when replacing the complete set of knives, right hand bearing and/or bearing seal. Knives are worn out when they can not be set to penetrate the soil to your desired depth.

!WARNING

Before making adjustments on the Overseeder, shut off the tractor, disengage PTO, wait for all moving parts to stop and lock brakes before dismounting tractor. Securely block Overseeder on safe supporting stands and disconnect tractor.

1.Attach chain, cable or lifting strap to the two Overseeder sling brackets. Use an overhead hoist for rotor removal and installation.

2.Remove chain guard from right hand side of your Overseeder.
