1. Verify from the serial number plate that the drill is the
model number (1007NT) compatible with this kit.

on the frame cross-tube. Newer drills already have a
brace plate installed in gap and do not need this
kit.

Refer to Figure 3

installation area.

both sides of and inside the weldment.

IMPORTANT !

If any welds are cracked, do not install the kit.
Have your dealer contact Great Plains for further
assistance.

4. Inspect the general condition of the caster weldment
side plates. Perform a trial alignment of the brace
plate, as per step 15 through step 20 on page 5. Do
not mark the hole locations at this time.

IMPORTANT !

If the plate cannot lie flat against the weldment, or the
hole locations would not meet the center-line require­ment of step 14, do not install the kit. Have your
dealer contact Great Plains for further assistance.

Inventory

• Drill operator manual (see page 1)

• updated drill Parts Manual (see page 1)

• suitable tractor for raising implement

• basic hand tools, including:
center punch

32

3

⁄

in (5mm) pilot drill bit

16

• fine-tip marker

• touch-up paint may be required, Great Plains spray
can part number 821-001C, or use a green exterior
enamel close to Pantone® 356C.

Work Location

7. Move the implement to a location with:

• adequate illumination;

• clear surface beneath for recovery of any falling
or dropped parts - if the surface is not clear,
have a tarp or drop cloth available; and,

• no flammable materials near or beneath the drill.

Crushing Hazard

Do not loosen or remove the U-bolts that secure the caster
weldments to the frame tube. If raised, the drill may fall. If
lowered, the heavy caster weldments may topple.

Possible Fire Hazard

Fitting of the brace plates may require grinding, which will
produce sparks capable of starting a fire.

Prepare Implement

8. Raise the drill.

9. Install transport locks.

10. Lower parking jack and unhitch.

This installation may be performed with the drill low­ered, but access to the site is less convenient.

The tractor may be left hitched if preferred.
