Grease Bank Kit
7- and 10-Foot EWNT Drills
Used with:
• 705 (all models)
• 1005 (all models)
General Information
These instructions explain how to install a Grease Bank
Kit. These kits greatly improve the ease of lubricating
coulter pivots by adding one or two bulkheads, with zerks
and tubing to new grease adaptors at the coulters.
These instructions apply to an installation of either:
Kit Kit Description
151-126A 7’ GREASE BANK KIT
151-127A 10’ GREASE BANK KIT
Each kit upgrades an entire drill. There will be a few parts
left over if your drill has less than the maximum possible
number of coulters.
Due to shipping regulations, the kit does not include any
touch-up paint to restore the welded areas. Your Great
Plains dealer can provide it as Great Plains part:
821-001C PAINT GP GREEN SPRAY CAN
The grease bank does not serve the coulter disk bearing
zerks (if present), as they rotate and cannot accept a fixed
lubrication tube.
When you see this symbol, the subsequent instructions
and warnings are serious - follow without exception.

Your life and the lives of others depend on it!

Single-digit callouts identify components in
the currently referenced Figure or Figures.
These numbers may be reused for different
items from page to page.
Two-digit callouts in this range reference new
parts from the new parts lists beginning on
page 8.
This two-digit callout references an affected
existing part from the table on page 8. The
description matches that in your Parts Manual.

Before You Start
Review these instructions, with the following objectives at
each step:
• Safety: welding is required and represents a
potential fire and personal injury hazard - plan the
location and the work to minimize risks.
• Inventory: examine any called-for items and make
sure all parts are present.
• Comprehension: make sure you understand
where each part or assembly is installed, and
what tools are required for the task.
Pre-Assembly Preparation
Work Location
1. Move the drill to a location with:
• a non-flammable surface beneath,
• adequate illumination,
• protection from weather (for painting), and;
• access to power for any power tools.

!
CAUTION
There will be sparks from welding. Dry grass, wood floors, or
areas with spills of flammable fluids are not suitable locations
for the work.
Prepare Drill
2. Raise the drill and install transport locks. The work
may be performed with the drill lowered, but access
to the coulter zerks is easier when raised.
3. Block the tires and install the parking jack.
4. Disconnect all hydraulic and electrical connections at
the hitch. Secure hoses and cables to prevent
ground contact.
5. Unhitch the tractor and move it away from any potential contact with the drill frame (to prevent possible
system damage if electric welding is used).

7. Loosely assemble two mount plates inside the
ends of the mount , with the weld ears facing
away from the mount.
8. Position the assembly anywhere along the top from
edge of the drill’s mainframe tool bar. Make sure the
lower rear edge ( , the weld region) is in continuous
contact with the tool bar, and tighten the nuts to
about half of final torque (the bulkhead is disassembled and re-assembled in later steps).

Determine Mounting Location
The ideal location for the bulkhead(s) depends on drill
configuration, particularly frame-mounted coulters.
Choose locations that provide full access to the zerk
openings for maintenance, and ample clearance both
mount brackets for welding.
Refer to Figure 3
The suggested location for the single 705, and right 1005
bulkhead is toward the right end of the tool bar, near or in
front of the right arm pivot plate .
On the 1005, the second bulkhead is located at the left
end of the tool bar, near or in front of the left arm pivot

plate .
9. Using a bulkhead assembly as a guide, mark the
outline of each plate at the weld location.
