| John Deere No-Till Drill Seed Boot Mounting Hole Repair Kit Available for 50, 60, and 90 Series Drills! |
The John Deere 750 no till drill and
it's descendants use cast lugs to
locate the seed boot. As the center
hole wears, the rear of the seed
boot is allowed to flex upwards,
allowing seed to randomly miss the
furrow. If you are seeing seed on
not worn excessively, you need to
address the egg shaped wear in the
center hole.

not worn excessively, you need to

Our solution to fix this problem
involves drilling the egg shaped hole
followed by installation of a hardened
interference fit full length bushing.
Here you can see the drill guide
installed with it's case hardened
bushings. These drill bushings are
very hard and we have seen virtually
no wear in them through the course
of a typical rebuild, insuring that the
last hole is as true as the first. If you
are repairing many Deere grain drills,
such as in a shop situation, these
bushings can be easily replaced to
insure a tight fit every time.

The kit also includes a straight sided

taking care of the inevitable burrs
encountered when breaking through
the rear of the ears. It also is very
valuable when dressing out burrs
created by wear around the original
egg shaped holes.

Here is a OEM mounting bolt in the
bushing to compare to the first
picture in this series. The bolt now
has 0.010 clearance through the
length of the bushing. It is plenty of
clearance for normal operation of the
drill. The bushing itself is aircraft
grade heat treated chromoly
seamless tubing. Extra bushings are
available individually.
