Seed Tube Bolts for 50 and 90 Series John Deere Openers

Needham Ag Technologies is proud to announce a new product. While its small, it’s a very important one, especially if you have had the 3/8” bolts break off while trying to remove the steel seed tubes, the ones which push into the top of the seed boot (as illustrated to the right).

Our new Needham Ag 3/8” Seed Boot Bolts are the same dimensions as the OEM versions, but ours are made of a high quality grade 8 material, plus the threads are coated with an anti-seize material to help stop the threads rusting in place.

By comparison, the OEM bolts are ungraded (see the bolt heads in the image to the right) and they are prone to breaking off during removal, especially if the drill or air-seeder has been applying fertilizer which corrodes the bolt in place. These OEM bolts do not have any thread coating material to help prevent the bolts rusting in place.
