Wheel Hub Bearing Maintenance
Wheel Bearing maintenance should be performed at the
beginning of every season of use. Check the Wheel
Bearings periodically for excessive end play. If needed,
adjust or replace them using the following procedure:
1. Place the Frame on blocks or stands sufficient to lift
the Tire clear of the ground.
2. Remove the Tire.
3. Remove the Hub Cap, Cotter Pin and Slotted Nut.
4. Remove the Hub. Clean and inspect the Bearings
and Hub Cavity. Replace any worn or defective parts.
5. Repack the Bearings using a high-quality Wheel
Bearing Grease.
6. Slide the Single Lip Seal onto the Spindle. Do not
install the Seal into the Hub.
NOTE
The Single Lip Seals should point away from the Hub to
keep contaminants out and allow grease to pass.
7. Slide the Inner Bearing Cone and Hub onto the
Spindle.
8. Install the Outer Bearing Cone and Slotted Nut.

9. Tighten the Slotted Nut while rotating the Hub until
there is a slight resistance to wheel rotation. Then,
back the Slotted Nut off one notch, until the wheel
rotates freely without end play.
10. Slide the Single Lip Seal to the Hub and install the
Seal in the Hub.
11. Install a new Cotter Pin and re-install the Hub Cap.
12. Grease Wheels Hubs every 50 hrs. Figure 4-2.
Lubrication Maintenance
• Oil Roller Chains periodically.
• All Seeders have Greaseable Bearings on the ends
of the Front and Rear Rollers and should be greased
every 20 hrs. Figure 4-2.
• Pull Type Seeders Wheel Arm pivot point should be
greased every 4 hrs.
• Grease Wheels Hubs every 50 hrs.
• When the machine is not used for some time,
exposed portions of the Hydraulic Cylinder Rods
must be cleaned and covered with a thick coat of
grease to prevent corrosion, which will damage the
seal.
