Description
When you’re ripping through tough ground or working in rocky fields, your ripper shanks take a serious beating. This chrome shank guard acts like armor for your 1-1/4 inch John Deere ripper shanks, protecting that expensive steel from wear and extending the life of your equipment. It’s the kind of simple protection that pays for itself by keeping you out of the parts store.
What You’re Getting
- Hi-strength chrome alloy construction that resists wear from abrasive soils and debris
- Precise fit for 1-1/4 inch shanks on John Deere rippers and subsoilers
- Easy installation with two 3/8 x 2-1/4 inch roll pins (sold separately as RP24-18 or RP24-18-5)
- Chrome finish that stays tough through season after season of hard use
Built for Deep Tillage Work
This guard is designed for the heavy-duty world of deep tillage where rippers break up compaction layers and fracture hardpan. Whether you’re running a John Deere ripper through corn stubble or working conservation tillage in no-till ground, this guard takes the punishment so your shank doesn’t have to.
Made to Last
The chrome alloy material is heat-treated for maximum durability – hard enough to resist abrasive wear but tough enough not to crack when it hits rocks or roots. The smooth chrome finish helps shed soil and debris instead of letting it build up, keeping your ripper working efficiently.
Installation Notes
Installation is straightforward with the two roll pins, but make sure you have the right size pins on hand before you start – either RP24-18 or RP24-18-5 depending on your specific setup. A quick tip: when installing, make sure the guard is properly seated before driving in the pins to avoid any binding.
