Description
When your planter starts skipping seeds or you notice uneven plant spacing, there’s a good chance one of those little plastic idler spools in the drive system has cracked or worn out. These 1-9/16 inch diameter plastic spools keep the seed meter drive chain tracking smoothly, making sure every row unit gets consistent power to drop seeds exactly where they should be.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-molded plastic construction that runs quietly and won’t damage your drive chain
- Exact 1-9/16 inch diameter for proper chain tension and smooth operation
- Lightweight design that reduces wear on drive components and brackets
- Drop-in replacement that installs in minutes with basic tools
Built for Real Farm Work
This idler spool is designed for the seed meter drive systems on John Deere 7000 through 7340 series planters and Kinze planters. Whether you’re planting corn in the spring rush or switching to soybeans for double-cropping, these planters handle the bulk of America’s row crop acres. The seed meter drive system keeps those meters spinning at just the right speed for accurate seed placement.
Made to Last
Planter season means long days and dusty conditions, and these plastic idler spools are built to handle it. The material won’t corrode like metal pulleys can, and it’s formulated to resist cracking from temperature changes and UV exposure. The smooth finish keeps chain wear to a minimum while providing years of reliable service.
Good to Know
Check your other idler spools while you’re replacing this one – they often wear at similar rates. A little spray lubricant on the mounting bolt makes installation easier, and it’s worth checking that the chain tension is correct after installation. Keep a couple spares on hand during planting season – they’re quick to change and you don’t want to be stuck waiting for parts when the weather window is perfect.
