[QUOTE="fermerboy, post: 8133199, member: 190"] I have just had my KV Accord Exacta HL in penny bits over the floor because the gearbox seized sitting over winter. Not sure I did it the right way but on mine I removed the agitators disconnected the slide coupling between the T box and the outside ones, undid the bolts holding the hopper to the frame and lifted the hopper about 2-3". That gives you enough clearance to remove the bolts and slide the box sideways off the holding frame, the outside gearbox cant drop down because of the flange the disc is mounted on. No idea if other models are the same. If its the outside box, the seal under the disc will be goosed and a water and fert mix will have knackered the top bearing, only found ours was on way out because I had removed it to get to the middle gearbox. 2 bearings and a seal in to fix it. The centre box suffers the same with water entering in the unused input shaft(two speed) and seizing the outer bearing. Mine was rusty inside with damp ingress, likely from before I got it(2seasons here) 7 FAG bearings and 4 seals from independant supplier was less than a third of the kit from KV. Shafts are grooved and pitted now so it will go again, I was needing it going so it was thrown back together, ideally a sleeve or shaft refaced would be better. Winter project maybe.
