1. A scraper for a depth gauge wheel of a type used on a seed planter, said depth gauge wheel being mounted by a pivot arm to a frame of the seed planter to permit movement of the depth gauge wheel in vertical and fore-and-aft directions, said scraper comprising:

  • a scraper blade presenting an edge for removing debris from a recessed face of the depth gauge wheel;

    an elongated arm mounting the scraper blade at a position to at least partially extend within the recessed face of the depth gauge wheel when the scraper is coupled therewith;

    a mount for coupling the elongated arm with the depth gauge wheel and permitting relative rotative movement between the depth gauge wheel and the elongated arm to permit the arm to remain generally stationary as the depth gauge wheel rotates; and

    a member for stabilizing the elongated arm at a position remote from said mount, said member presenting an elongated opening for receiving a support bolt and permitting sliding movement of the support bolt along said member when the scraper is mounted near the depth gauge wheel and said depth gauge wheel moves in a vertical or fore-and-aft direction.
