Easy-To-Install Seal For Deere No-Till Drills

Easy-To-Install Seal For Deere No-Till Drills DRILLS Drills 42C Anyone with a Deere 750 or 1850 series no-till drill knows that the cast iron closing wheels can lock up due to dirt and moisture getting into the bearing seals This new Seal Sealer is designed to solve the problem on the estimated 750 000 closing wheels on Deere no-till drills around the world
    The Seal Sealer is an injection molded plastic cap that s designed to fit over the closing wheel s original bearing seal The original bearing wears out because moisture and dust get in and lock up the wheel says inventor Rick Heintzman The spindle that supports the closing wheel has a dust cap with a nut inside it that holds the wheel on Unfortunately on the other side of the wheel all of the seal is exposed which allows moisture and dirt to enter into the bearing and eventually lock it up
    He came up with the idea after being frustrated at having to constantly replace the seals on his Deere 42-ft no-till drill The drill is equipped with 68 closing wheels and I was constantly installing replacement parts on those wheels If the bearing locks up and the wheel falls off before you get a chance to replace the seal and bearings then you have to spend $70 for a new wheel
    The Seal Sealer installs on the back side of the closing wheel and consists of a plastic seal and a large washer
     It s easy to install If the wheel is still good when you spin it there s no need to replace the bearings notes Heintzman
    The Seal Sealer has a lifetime guarantee Orders of 1 to 15 sell for $25 apiece delivered; orders of 16 or more sell for $16 delivered
