SCALE BRACKET AND LOAD CELL MOUNTING INSTALLATION

Two kits are available for the AGCO-White CFS Planters.

•

If the rear hopper frame comes straight down to the main frame the planter is an 8800 Series.

•

If the rear hopper frame angles downward toward the planter frame, the planter is an 8500 Series. The

8500 Series planter scale kit takes a different rear top weldment.

The front load cell supports are the same for both 8500 & 8800 series of planters.

See ‘Load Cell
Supports For All
Three 8800 Series
Load Cells & Front
Load Cell Support
For One 8500 Series
Load Cell’, page 4,
for assembling

See ‘Rear Support for
Two 8500 Series Load
Cells’, page 4, for
assembling details.

Scale Bracket and Load Cell Mounting Installation

1. Assemble the bottom support bracket weldment to the three load cells with 3/4 x 3.25” fine thread bolt
and 3/4” jam nut. Slide a 3/4” flat washer onto 3/4” x 3.25” bolt and insert bolt from the

bottom

side for
all three load cells. Tighten the 3/4” bolt until the load cell is drawn tight against the 1/4" shim plate.
Next apply Loctite thread adhesive to 3/4" jam nut and tighten.

IMPORTANT

: Orientate the load cell
so the load cell decal arrow is pointing upward. Make sure the 1/4" shim plate on the bottom support
weldment is on the bottom side of the load cell.
