| Deere came out with a seal kit last Nov. I don't have the seal numbers handy but they can look it up. They give you a diagram to lathe down a shaft for making a driver that sets the correct depth. The seals are all the same for the two on the seed firming/press wheel bracket and the two on the closing wheel bracket. Likewise, outside bushings are the same all around. Inside bushings are different for press and closing bracket. I went ahead and replaced them all. Would've been a lot less work to leave them in and just drive them a deeper for the seal. They come out hard. Inside the housing is a pretty big cavity that is full of hard grease and dirt that needs to come out. Was probably $50 a row and two days to replace all bushings and add the seals. I always got a chuckle that the book called for greasing once a season. It doesn't take very many acres and that grease has no where to go.
