Rear Mud Scraper
Refer to Figure 1-5 on page 9:
The instructions below apply to both the rear packer
roller and rear spike roller.
1. Lower rear roller to ground level to compress
spring (#6). Adjust 3-point lift height to make sure
roller arm (#1) is positioned so that there is space
between the arm and stop blocks located above and
below the arm.
2. Support seeder frame at this height to keep seeder
frame from creeping lower during assembly.
3. Shut tractor engine off and engage parking brake.
4. Attach vice grips tightly to the spring rod and tight
against the spring rod guide bar to retain spring
compression.
5. Loosen bearing set collar screw (#2) and remove
lock nut (#3), cap screws (#4) and lock washers (#5).
Keep hardware for reuse.
NOTE: Do not tighten bolts (#4 & #5) until after
adjustments have been made. See “Mud Scraper
Adjustment (Optional)” on page 14 for instructions.
