Ag Seeder Models with Brome Box

Problem – Brome box shaft working out to the right-hand end of the seeder and wearing out the roll pin and retainer plate.

To correct:

Check that the transmission shaft that drives the brome box is square in the transmission (sprocket must be parallel with the outer case plate) and aligned with the brome box shaft. Loosen bearings and adjust if necessary.

Check that seed boxes are level and straight from end to end. Loosen and adjust seed boxes from the center and right hand end brackets if necessary. It may also be necessary to make an adjustment of the left hand seed box on the transmission.

When properly aligned, the square brome box shaft will slide into the drive coupling without binding. Coat the inside of the drive coupling with Never-Seize.

Any or a combination of the above misalignment conditions can cause the problem.
