Abstract
An agricultural planting machine having a frame, a pair of opposite furrow forming disks rotatably mounted on the frame on intersecting axes and a pair of gauge wheel assemblies mounted on the frame respectively adjacent the opposite sides of the pair of furrow forming disks. An improved mechanism for adjustably mounting the other end of each gauge wheel arm which has an internally threaded bore to the frame includes an internally threaded cylindrical shaft mounted on the frame. An externally threaded bushing is rotatably mounted on the shaft for engagement with the internally threaded bore in the gauge wheel arm such that rotation of the bushing with respect to the gauge wheel arm moves the gauge wheel arm axially of the internally threaded cylindrical shaft to adjust the lateral spacing of the gauge wheel from the adjacent disk. A locking member locks the externally threaded bushing to the other end of the gauge wheel arm to cause rotation of the bushing and the arm as a unit. Axial adjustment of the gauge wheel arm relative to the furrow forming disks is provided by movement of the locking member relative to the externally threaded bushing.
