An agricultural tillage implement includes a frame member and at least one rolling basket assembly coupled to the frame member. The rolling basket assembly has at least one bearing hanger, at least one rolling basket and at least one bearing assembly rotationally coupling the rolling basket to the bearing hanger. The bearing assembly has a bearing with an inner ring and a spindle holding the inner ring. The spindle is coupled to the bearing hanger. The spindle being configured to accommodate dynamic misalignment of the bearing.

A greaseless bushing assembly is provided for the gauge wheel arms of an agricultural row planter. The greaseless bushing includes an outer threaded tube for threaded mounting within the gauge wheel arm, and an internal non-metallic sleeve through which the wheel bolt extends for mounting the gauge wheel onto the arm. The sleeve provides dry lubrication for the bushing. The bushing may also include a lip or wiper seal at each end to prevent entry of dust into the bushing.

A split shaft with a setting adjustment, including a first part and a second part with threaded cylindrical sections, that may optionally also optionally include a sleeve to interconnect the first and second parts by threading. A shaft-hub unit, which includes the split shaft and a cylindrical hub with two couplable parts. Use of the split shaft and shaft-hub unit in cutting disks of planters and subsoilers, as well as in wheels of planters, is also described.

This invention relates to a mounting assembly for a roller having a bearing and a fastener. The fastener is at least partially shrouded by a sleeve, the end of which is keyed into the roller. Use of the sleeve provides an additional bearing surface to allow the roller to rotate with the bearing. Should the bearing seize, the sleeve and the roller are still able to rotate without affecting the fastener, that is, the fastener does not unravel and disengage from the housing. This invention has particular application to mounting of rollers to mower decks of a mowing implement.

An improved assembly for adjustably mounting a gauge wheel arm to the frame of a row unit may include a pivot pin connected on the frame, a bushing freely rotatably mounted on the pivot pin for engagement with the gauge wheel arm such that rotation of the bushing with respect to the gauge wheel arm moves the gauge wheel arm axially, and a locking element that integrates the gauge wheel arm with the bushing so that there is no relative movement therebetween as the gauge wheel arm rotates with respect to the pivot pin

An agricultural vehicle includes a frame, a wheel supporting the frame, and a rockshaft coupled to the frame and operable to pivot with respect to the frame. The rockshaft has an outer surface, an inner surface and an open end. An internal end cap is positioned on the open end of the rockshaft. The internal end cap has an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface of the internal end cap contacts the outer surface of the rockshaft. An external end cap is positioned on the open end of the rockshaft and contacts the outer surface of the internal end cap. A fastener connects the external end cap to the frame to retain the external end cap on the rockshaft.
