Section 2 Assembly Instructions & Set-Up

2015 Three-Point Soybean Machine 173-088M

The following information is general in nature and was

written to aid the operator in preparation of the tractor

and drill for use, and to provide general operating proce-

dures. The operator’s experience, familiarity with the

drill, and the following information combined should pro-

vide efficient drill operation and good working habits.

Having all the parts and equipment readily at hand will

speed up your assembly task and make the job as safe

as possible.

Assembling The Drill

Read and understand the previous section

BEFORE YOU START.

If the gauge wheels are already installed, skip the re-

mainder of this section.

If the drill is shipped without the front gauge wheels,

temporary blocking will be required under the front of the

drill to keep it from tipping forward. Keep this blocking in

place to hold the drill if you are installing the gauge

wheels.

Left Hand Gauge Wheel

Refer to Figure 2-1:

The left hand gauge wheel (#1) is identiﬁed by referring

to Figure 2-1, page 8. Note the extended wing on the top

side of the gauge wheel mount where the hex bore jack-

shaft bearing (#2) Figure 2-2 is mounted. This wing

goes towards the outside of the drill.

Based on your application refer to the Gauge Wheel

Placement Chart, under dimension "A". Using this di-

mension, make a mark on the main frame with a pencil

where your gauge wheel should be mounted.

Gauge Wheel Placement Chart

Using mechanical assistance, lift the gauge wheel as-

sembly and place it on the frame. Install the two U-bolts

from the back side of the frame tube and through the

mounting holes. Secure with lock washers and nuts.
