Abstract
A repair kit is provided for quickly and efficiently repairing a hex drive shaft on an agricultural planter. The invention provides a repair sleeve which is closely coupled with the broken or cut hex drive shaft. This repair sleeve is then attached to either side of a broken drive shaft thus allowing the planter to become operable once again. Utilizing the present invention to accomplish the repair, the planter is quickly and efficiently fixed using a small number of tools and not requiring transportation to a repair facility.
