Gauge Wheels - Yetter 3400 Series Operator's Manual

GAUGE WHEELS

Frame gauge wheels maintain the rotary hoe frame at a constant level in respect to the
ground contour, which helps insure uniform penetration of the hoe wheels. Recommended
tire size 205/70 R15 or equivalent.
Mount the frame gauge wheels as shown, location each wheel an equal distance from the
center of the main frame. Gauge wheels should run outside the tractor wheel tracks.
To tighten wheel bearing, remove the hubcap and cotter pin. Tighten the slotted nut until
there is a slight drag on the bearing, while turning the wheel. Then loosen or back off the
slotted nut one slot and insert the cotter pin. There should be a slight drag on the bearing
following adjustment. Reinstall the hubcap.
