General Information

These instructions explain how to install and adjust the sprocket-

box update. The sprocket box replaces the original gearbox on

Great Plains end-wheel drills. This modiﬁcation improves the

performance and reliability of the original equipment.

These instructions apply to

152-207A 13-Foot EW Sprocket Box Update Kit

Manual Update

Pages 4 and 5 of these instructions cover how to adjust the seed-

ing rate with the new sprocket box. These instructions replace

the "Clutch Shaft and Miter Gear Alignment" and "Seed Calibra-

tion" sections in the operator’s manual originally provided with

your drill. As reference, save pages 3 and 4 of these instructions

with your operator’s manual. A copy of the updated parts manual

is available through your Great Plains dealer.

Refer to the drill operator’s manual for detailed information on

safely operating, adjusting, troubleshooting and maintaining the

drill. Refer to the drill parts manual for part identiﬁcation.
