JD 25B cotton planter question

I've got this old two row 25B working but I don't understand how everything works. On the John Deere 24B and 25B cotton and corn planter parts list Page 16 Part# 40. It calls the part "Wheel, cotton feed". I've never planted cotton so I don't understand. It kinda looks like a small circular saw blade. The shaft runs in two nylon bearing, Part #39. I've got one unit working pretty smooth but the other is very hard to turn due to this nylon bearing wearing out. It works great when I take it out. I found new bushings I think will work. I am not going to be planting cotton, so I don't think I need it. Just want to know how it works and what it does??
 
john,
I have a small two row JD planter.
It has two 25B units mounted on a 3 pt hitch tool bar.

I believe mine is set up for corn as it does a good job planting corn.

I do not remember if I down loaded a parts or operators manual for 25B units.

note: if you repaint yours, unless you have too, do not paint over the deer on the planter boxes as they have 4 legs.

now JD equipment only shows the deer with two legs. I had not noticed this until an old guy told me about the change.

guess is was a cost cutting thing, cut two legs off the deer????????????????
