As the cast closing wheels on  JD drills and planters, and Kinze planters wear and become rounded  over, they are less efficient in closing the seed trench. We can recut your wheels and return them to nearly new condition. We reduce the  diameter by approximately 2/3” and the weight by approximately 14 ozs. We charge $10 per wheel and we can do this job while you wait.

Farmers are  telling us they are finding soybean seeds on top of the ground and two  inches deep, in the same row. These conditions cause poor germination,  and uneven emergence. Causing reduction in yield. (COSTING YOU MONEY)  The problem may be sloppy seed boots. The seed boot may be moving up and  down due to changing soil conditions. The problem is the arm that holds  the seed boot has holes that are worn egg shaped. This arm is about  $735.00 X 24 (15 foot) is $17,640.00. We have a repair for these holes  at $13.00 per row.

Some JD 1560,  1590, and newer grain drills are showing signs of wear in the seed depth  adjustment lever.  You may find that the fork at the bottom of the cast  lever (#AN 282109) is loose on the cross shaft.  This allows to depth  wheel to move up and down, changing the seed depth.  Customers are  finding that only a few levers are loose and some drills have all the  levers loose.  You must check all the wheels for movement to be sure  that you do not have this problem.

OEM  price on the lever is about $105.00 each, we can remachine this lever  for $25.00, saving the customer $1,920.00 on a 15 ft drill with 7 1/2  inch spacing.

Some of our customers have  had trouble with the fertilizer coulters with the rubber depth wheel  seizing up inside of the blade shaft.  This problem is only repaired by  taking the opener apart and cleaning and greasing the shaft each year.   We are offering a repair for that problem.  We are able to install  o-rings on the shaft to keep dirt out and a grease fitting to lubricate  the shaft.  The part numbers effected are AA35145 and A48724.  We can  offer this service for $27.50 per row.
