Drive Chain Disconnect For Deere Planters

Drive Chain Disconnect For Deere Planters PLANTING EQUIPMENT Accessories 21-2-23 You can prevent wear to chains, bearings, and sprockets on Deere 7000 planters when traveling on the road with a new drive chain disconnect kit from Clever Tech, Inc., Jesup, Iowa. The kit consists of a heavy-duty pre-loaded spring, a cam plate with a chain lifter that lifts the chain off the sprocket, a chain tension adjusting bolt, an idler support bracket, and a lock release lever. To release the drive chain, you simply pull the lock release lever, rotate the handle, and return the lever to the lock position. The spring works like a rigid tightener. The chain tension adjusting bolt prevents excessive wear on the idler sprockets so that they last longer. Does not work with some of the attachments that are avail-able for the 7000 planter. Sells for $68 plus S&H. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Clever-Tech, Inc., 4121 South Canfield Road, Jesup, Iowa 50648 (ph 319 827-1311; fax 2425).
