Abstract: A tire protection mount may include a bracket that includes a central platform and an arm. The central platform is connected the arm to define an opening. The tire protection mount further includes a shield connected to the bracket that substantially covers the opening.

Abstract: A scraper is disposed aft of and in closely spaced relation to a gauge wheel such as attached to an agricultural implement as in a planter row unit to remove soil from the wheel as the implement traverses a field. Maintaining the gauge wheel free of soil ensures proper height of the implement relative to the soil surface. The scraper includes a flat plate adjustably attached to a mounting assembly which allows for spacing between the plate and periphery of the gauge wheel to be adjusted as the plate wears with use. A leading edge of the plate disposed immediately adjacent the gauge wheel is contoured to closely match the gauge wheel contour for efficient soil removal. The mounting assembly includes a gauge wheel arm and a scraper arm rigidly coupled together at respective ends thereof and pivotally mounted to the implement where the two arms are connected together.
