Closing Wheel Pivot Kits For White Planters
OEM and most aftermarket kits provide a pivot that relies on two steel surfaces slipping on each other. Uneven wear can cause the closing wheels to go off center. The RK kit replaces steel on steel with long lasting bearings to keep closing wheels on center and to maintain optimum seed-to-soil contact.
The kits offer a square shaft with tapped holes to mount 203 series ball bearings and to replace the original pivot shafts. Tubular bearing housings are provided to weld to the pivot arm outside surface.
The kits are priced at $19 per row.
