@@stinsonfarms6724 I just finished my rebuild. I sanded off the rust and old paint and re-painted it, too. Nobody is going to see it but I enjoyed doing this. Thanks for the help.
Thanks! Our local hydraulic shop said the cylinder was welded together and not repairable, it felt good to see how it came apart and take it back and say “here put some seals in it” 😂
Glad I could help!! When I made this repair, I was just kind of figuring it out as I went. Way simpler that I expected. Good luck getting yours repaired!
Looks good. Check on the operation of the markers. Before is separated the lift from the marker, the markers would raise up 1st then the planter would come up. Mine also weighs a lot more being 6 rows and the tanks for fertilizer. It you have 2 remotes, it is not hard to separated and It makes it nice to be able to have the markers up at times.
Thanks. I had thought about the 2 remote idea. Both tractors have 2 so that is an option. I was a little surprised the markers are so slow about coming up. But I am happy they at least work.
There is enough room for it to slide by and come out. You have to make sure the block that way hanging is centered in the bracket. It should have enough play in it to slide over a little if it catches on the mounting block. Thank You!
Just the video I needed to see! Do you know how long the long cable for the marker is supposed to be? I am having to redo my cables due to ripping off one of my markers.
I found a similar leak in mine this week, but coming from the steel line in the frame. Unfortunately, I can't get a replacement part quickly. I don't use the markers, so I was thinking about capping the hydraulic line that comes off the main cylinder (which raises and lowers the planter) and goes into the frame. Do you think that would cause any issues?
Sorry just now seeing this. I don't think clamping the line would cause any issues at all. I was thinking of doing the same thing if it was something I couldn't fix quickly and just not use the markers. Thanks for watching!!
I do not plant Sorghum with the 7000. I don't have the right meters for sorghum. I have a plate type planter that I plant sorghum with. The meters I have with the 7000 would plant way too heavy. Thanks!
