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. Install the inner bearing into the hub and install the
grease seal. Use a driver to install the seal, to avoid
damaging the outer edge of the seal. Drive the seal
squarely into the hub to avoid any seal distortion.
NOTE
The Single Lip Seals should point away from the Hub to
keep contaminants out and allow grease to pass.

7. Slide the hub, bearing, and seal onto a clean 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. Install a new Cotter Pin and re-install the Hub Cap.
Lubrication Maintenance
• Oil Roller Chains periodically.
• Seeder has Greaseable Bearings on the ends of the
Front and Rear Rollers and should be greased every
20 hrs. See Figure 5-2.
• 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.
