Gearbox for the Native Seedbox
The gearbox is lubricated and sealed at the factory.
Under normal conditions, it does not require
maintenance or lubrication.
If gearbox has been opened, repack gears and bearings
with a minimum of 7 oz. of gear lube, Part No. 788067.
Keep moisture and dirt out of gearbox. Inspect rubber
seals on gearbox drive and shifter shafts. If needed,
replace rubber seals.
Spread a small skin coat of anaerobic sealant (Locktite
525 or equivalent) to mating surfaces of the gearbox
case before bolting them back together.
IMPORTANT:
Use sparingly. Excess sealant may
squeeze off the intended surface and into the
bearings and gears causing them to lock up.

that is required to keep seed cups working properly.
