• SAFETY SUGGESTIONS
Federal law requires you to explain the safety and operating instructions furnished with this machine to
all employees before they are allowed to operate the machine. These must
be repeated to the employees
at the beginning of each season. Be sure to observe and follow the instructions for the safety of anyone
operating or near the machine.
Investigation has
shown that nearly one-third of all farm accidents are caused by careless use of
machinery. You
can do your part in improving safety by observing the following suggestions. Insist that
all people working with you or for you abide by them.
1. Do not stand berween the tractor and implement when attaching or detaching implement unless both
are not moving.
2. Do not make adjustments or lubricate machine while it is in motion.
3. Do not allow anyone to ride on tractor or machine.
4. Always use
transport lock when transporting machine.
5. Do not transport at speeds over 20 mph.
6. Avoid sudden stops or turns when transporting because weight of machine may cause operator to Jose
control of tractor. Use a tractor heavier
than machine. Do not allow tractor drawbar to swing when
transporting.
7.
Use caution when towing behind articulated steering tractors; fast or sharp turns may cause the
machine to slip sideways.
8. When transporting the machine on a road or highway, use adequate warning symbols, reflectors,
lights, and slow moving vehicle signs as required.
9. Lower machine to ground when not in use.
10. Block machine so it will not roll when unhitched from tractor.
11. Relieve pressure in hydraulic lines before uncoupling hydraulic hoses from tractor. On most tractors
this can be done by operating valves after engine is stopped.
12. Securely block machine when working on or
under it to prevent injury in case of hydraulic failure
or inadvertent lowering by another person.
13.
Be sure to engage parking pin on left side of pick-up models bet"ore disconnecting tractor. Otherwise
machine may tip backward on frame. ·
14. Install safety chain berween the pull type seeder and the tractor. See page 24 of this manual, and/or
see tractor manual.
15. Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing serious
personal injury. Before applying pressure to the system, be sure all connections are tight and that
lines and hoses are not damaged.
16. Hydraulic fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use a piece
of cardboard
or a piece of wood, rather than hands, to search for suspected leaks.

Safety Decals
There are three levels
of hazard intensity that appear with the safety alert symbol on safety decals: DANGER,
WARNING, and CAUTION. The level of hazard intensity is determined by the following definitions:
DANGER -Immediate hazards which
Will result in severe personal injury or death.
WARt<ING -Jii\zards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death.
·, ,, ~ ·7 ~~-.' . '
CAOTION -A~i{niinder of safety practices, or directs attention to unsafe practices which could result in personal
" injury.
Examine safety decals.
and be sure you have the correct safety decals for the mafhine. Keep these signs clean so
they can
be observed readily. It is iniportant to keep these ·decals cleaned more frequently than the machine.
. . Wash with soap and water or cleaning solution as required.
Replace decals
that become damaged or lost.

:. '.::,'t, . \Ir -....,
. 'When applying decals to the machine, be sure to clean the surface to remove any dirt or residue. Where possible,
.'Sign placement should protect the sign from abrasion, damage, or obstruction from mud, dirty oil, etc.
These are the safety decals provided for the seeder. (Refer to repair parts catalog for more information on the
location
of each safety sign on the equipment).

2. Disconnect tractor.
1289 Page 5 9J467

Figure 2
Meter Box Seed Rate
Seed rate for the front or meter box is set by adjusting the micro-meter on the right side. To increase the
rate of seeding, loosen the large locknut on inside of the bearing and turn the seed rate adjusting
nut to
•
the desired setting. To decrease the rate of seeding, loosen the seed rate adjusting nut and set it to the •
new desired position; then tighten the large locknut.
Figure 3
A seed rate chart
is located inside the seed box cover. It should be used as a general guide only. Because
of seed variation, a more accurate rate can be found by calibrating the seeder as shown on the
chan and
in later pages of this manual.
Seed cups discharge to the front of the machine to aid the tractor driver in determining proper operation. •
In addition, reflective amber decals are placed on the seed shaft to indicate rotation.
1289 Page 6 9J467

Agitator Box Brushes
IMPORTANT!
Always raise seeder fully before backing up if agitator brush kit has been installed. Brushes will be
seriously damaged if they are rotated backwards.
Agitator Box Seed Rate
The agitator boxes (optional) are set by
means of the control handles on the rear of each box. Loosen
the
wing nuts to move handles to desired setting and re-tighten nuts.
A seed
rate chart is located inside the seed box cover. As with the front box, calibration as shown in
the next section will provide the most accurate rate.
Figure 4
Seed Rate Calibration
The provided charts were determined by laboratory tests
on various samples. To find rates for specific
seed lots
or to calibrate for unlisted seeds, proceed as shown on the seed chart which is reproduced on
the next pages.

Figure 5
Using the standard 13 tooth driver sprocket, the seed shaft on the feed cups makes 200
revolutions per acre. This is also the speed of the 15/16
11
hex on the outside of the
transmission. (A 26 tooth driver sprocket will double the speed). If you do not want to
turn the shaft 200 times for calibration, divide 200 by some convenient number and then
multiply the weighed seed by that same number. For example, if you make 20 turns, multiply
weight by 10.

Transmission Drive Bolt
A 3/8" x 1-1/4"
gr~de 5 bolt connects the front transmission sprocket and drive flange. This bolt must
be removed for cahbranon and can also be removed if it is desired to use the seeder as a roller only.
Figure 8
S-Tine Tire Track Remover (Optional)
This kit must be used with standard 9J442 long three point hitch on pick-up machines.
Wheel track remover
is furnished with 6 s-tines. More or less tines may be used as required.
S-tines should not be operated any deeper than necessary to remove tractor tire tracks. Otherwise, wet
soil
is brought up which will stick to rollers, draft load is increased, and under some situations, tines may
deflect back to rollers and break.
Suggested placement of tines is one on center and one in line with each edge of tractor tire.
Coil Tine Track Remover (Optional)
Vertical position can be changed by removing the clevis pins and lock screws
and moving the adjusting
angles up or down.
To inactivate the tines, remove the 1/2" clevis pins and loosen the lock screws. Then swing the bar and
tine assemblies upward and sideways.
To hold in place, wrap the chain under the bar and place the chain
into the slot in the adjusting angle. Re-tighten the lock screws. (See assembly instructions on page 22
for illustrations).

MAINTENANCE
Acre Meter
If seeder. is equ.ipped with
an acre meter, precautions must be taken to protect meter bearings from
damage due to shock loads. If blows from a hammer or heavy object will be applied to transmission
or
transmission area, first remove acre meter.
Fasteners
After a few hours' use, check entire machine and tighten any loose
nuts or bolts. Daily or periodic checks
should be made thereafter.
Recommended inflation pressure is as follows:
7.00/7.60-15
9.5 L - 15
Lubrication
6 ply rating
..... 28 psi
6 ply rating
..... 24 psi

Oil roller chains periodically.
Repack wheel bearings annually.
When machine is not used for some time, exposed portions
of hydraulic cylinder rods should be cleaned and
covered with a thick coat of grease. This will prevent corrosion which will damage seals.
Chain Tension
Adjust the chain between the front roller and transmission to have approximately
2" of total deflection.

To adjust the transmission chain, first loosen the 5/8" idler axle bolt and then use the clevis draw bolt to obtain
about
3/8" - 1/2" of sag. Re-tighten axle bolt. Be careful not to over tighten this chain.

Roller Wheels
Occasionally it is necessary to loosen clamp bands and tighten rolJer wheel assemblies. As nearly as
possible, peaks on
rear wheels should line up with valleys on front wheels. This requires adjusting both
end clamps on the
rear axle drum.

Feed Cup Adjustment
All cups must be set the same to seed uniformly. To check, set the adjusting nut to 0-A All cups should
be closed. If not, there are three adjustments to make as needed:
1. Jam nuts on both ends of the micro-meter are used to adjust all cups the same amount.
•
2. Feed roll coupling which connects left and right shafts changes cups on left box compared to •
cups on right box.

3. Individual cups can be adjusted by loosening their mounting bolts, moving cups, and then re-
tightening.

When properly adjusted, tb.e holes in the slide should line up with the holes in the box with the control
handle set
at "6". To make an adjustment:
1. Loosen the control ·handle wing nut and move the slide until the holes line up.
2. Move
the handle to "O". Holes in the box should be completely covered. If not, continue.
3. Loosen the three bolts holding the shift plate casting
and move it slightly so that the "O" mark is
farther from the control handle.
4. Re-tighten bolts.
S. Check that holes in box are fully covered at "O" position.

x 6-3/4' spacer strap from between boxes and replace with 9J472 bracket.
4. Install left and right boxes as shown in Figure 19. Left box fastens to transmission with two 3/8'
x 1" cap screws, lock washers and nuts. Left box assembly is the one with one hole in the left end
of the 5/8' square shaft. This hole is used only for a shipping wire. Right box assembly has two
roll pin holes in the right end
of the 5/8" square shaft. A roll pin on each side of the retainer
positions both shafts.
