A soft serve dispensing machine includes a refrigerator cabinet. A door is hinged to the refrigerator cabinet. A freezer compartment is defined in the refrigerator cabinet and receives a soft serve product mix. Product pumps are linked with the soft serve product mix for moving the product to a dispensing portion of the soft serve dispensing machine. The product pumps are positioned proximate the front portion of the refrigerator cabinet and above the freezer compartment. A removable inner door panel is moveable between stored and deployed positions. In the deployed position, the door is in an open position and the inner door panel is attached to the refrigerator cabinet and defines a seal relative to the refrigerator cabinet and cold air within the freezer compartment is maintained in the freezer compartment while the product pumps are accessed.

Embodiments of the invention provide an innovative arrangement to control the height of ground engaging tools located on agricultural implements via gauge wheel assemblies, particularly for supporting and adjusting the height of winged extensions of the implement frame. The gauge wheel assemblies may provide an adjustment assembly in the form of a screw jack, which can be coupled to a support bracket that is attached to the implement frame and also coupled to a support tube that is coupled to a gauge wheel via pivot assembly and a bracket. The bracket and support tube may be coupled at discrete positions according to the height adjustment of the screw jack via pins and holes in the bracket and tube. When coupled, the pins and holes of the support bracket and tube may reduce the load of the winged extensions on the screw jack mechanism.

The agricultural row units feature soil finishing assemblies. This configuration of the finishing assembly provides a simple adjustment of the height of the finishing assembly to enhance usability and flexibility of the row unit. The improved adjustment mechanism enhances user control over the vertical distance between the finishing wheels/discs and the ground opening assembly. In an exemplary embodiment, soil finishing assembly is pivotally coupled to the row unit frame via a height adjustment assembly. The height adjustment assembly may feature a biasing member and other components to allow adjustment of one end of the pivotal coupling of the adjustment assembly within the row unit assembly.
