The factory John Deere 750 series box drills (after serial number 3834) and all 1850 air-seeders have a welded pin on the firming wheel arm as illustrated right. This pin wears over time and results in excess side to side travel. This assembly didn’t come with seals from the factory, so it often fills with dust (especially when planting in dry, dusty conditions), which accelerates wear.
John Deere sells a new arm assembly for around $87.00, but this only has a roll pin to hold it in position, so its often difficult to shim with washers to keep it tight.
