assembled from the factory and ready to go to the field.
This section includes press wheel and option assembly
procedures.

To insure alignment of assemblies, leave the nuts loose
until completion of final assembly. Use lock washers or
flat washers as specified. Spread all cotter pins.

After completion of final assemb ly, tighten all nuts
evenly to prevent misalignment, distortion or binding.

Tighten all screws and nuts to the recommended torques

(See Table 2-1 on page 2-3.)

Opener blades are extremely sharp. Exercise
extreme care when working on or near opener
blades. Do not allow opener blades to roll over or
fall onto any body part. Do not allow wrenches to
slip when working near blades. Never push
wrenches toward opener blades. Do not climb
over machine above opener blades. Failure to
stay clear of opener blade edges can cause
serious personal injury or death.

Chapter 3

Assembly Instructions

Do not attempt to lift heavy parts (such as the
frame, wheel lift, and pull hitch) manually. Use a
hoist or a forklift to move these parts into
position.

To prevent accidental lowering:

• All hydraulically elevated equipment must be
locked out using the cylinder lockouts.

• Lower equipment to the ground while
servicing or when it is idle.

• Failure to take measures to prevent
accidental lowering may result in serious
personal injury or death.

Be sure to bleed the hydraulic system of all air in
lines after inst allation. Failure to bleed the system
of all air can result in improper machine
operation.

Small Seed Attachment Installation (Option)

Refer to 3-2 for small seed attachment overview.

Use these instructions to install the optional small seed
attachment to the rear main seed box of 5531 Grain Drill.

1. Attach the drill to the tractor and lower the unit to the
ground. Leave the drill attached to the tractor while
assembling the small seed attachment. This will
prevent tipping of the drill while support stands are
removed.

2. Remove the SMV sign from the rear of the existing
seed box. Reinstall the mounting screws in the seed
box to plug the holes.

3. Determine whether the existing drill boxes have
mounting holes for the small seed attachment. See
Figure 2-9 for hole locations. If the mounting holes
do not exist, these holes must be drilled in existing
boxes before installing the attachment.

a. First locate and mark the center of the existing

seed box along the top rear box edge. Base all
dimensions from this mark.

b. Mark and center punch hole placement per

drawing.

c. Using a 13/32” diameter drill bit, drill the

mounting holes.

4. Remove the 3/8” hex lock nuts and 2-hole mounting
plates from the front of the small seed box assembly.

5. Carefully raise the small seed attachment and insert
the mounting screws through the holes drilled in the
rear of the main seed box. Inst all the 2-hole mounting
plates and 3/8” hex lock nuts on the inside of the
main drill box to secure the small seed attachment.

6. Remove the three outer locking nuts on the seed
shaft bearing assembly. Slide the bearing assembly
over the small seed square meter shaft. Insert the
bearing assembly mounting screws into the small
seed drive mount located on the end of the small
seed box assembly. Loosely install the three locking
nuts to hold the bearing assembly in place.

7. Just in front of the small seed bearing assembly,
remove the rear 1/2-13 x 1-1/4 hex head cap screw
from the existing seed box bracket (See Figure 3-3.)
