Firming Wheel Arm Bushing Kit

Key Benefits
• Our closing and firming wheel arm pins are made from high quality heat treated steel, with the highest hardness value ( /- 60, measured on the Rockwell C scale) of all the factory and aftermarket pins we have tested. These pins are also precision ground for maximum smoothness and minimum friction.
• Our yellow poly bushings have been available commercially for 5 seasons now, plus at least 2 years of field testing. These bushing kits have been purposefully installed on high acre per row openers in dusty conditions. We have found their life matches or exceeds factory closing wheel and firming wheel arm bushings without lubrication and no seizing up problems have been reported (unlike the steel bushings).
• Our yellow poly bushings don’t require greasing because they incorporate teflon, which acts as a lubricant to lower the friction around our smooth, precision ground closing and firming wheel arm pins.
• Our yellow poly bushings are much easier to install than steel and powdered metal bushings and they don’t rust in place.
• We supply 2 x seals per row to help keep dust and moisture out of the closing and firming wheel pivots.
• We supply a 1” ID grade 8 washer to help remove the side to side play created by the firming and closing wheel arms rubbing against the top housings, this is most important on higher use drills and air-seeders.
• We supply a new grade 8 - 5/8” smooth flange lock nut, as many existing lock nuts don’t have sufficient torque to hold the assembly tight after the existing ones have been installed and removed.
