Spanish term or phrase: cubierta
Hola,

estoy traduciendo sobre una sembradora.

Tengo:

RUEDA DE 4”½ x 15” CON MAZA DE 3 RAYOS (uso wheel para rueda)


Rueda controladora de profundidad con perforación grande, cuenta con 2 medias llantas armadas a una cubierta de 4”½ x 15” con maza de 3 rayos.

Esta "cubierta" de aqui abajo se refiere a la rueda nuevamente, no? me da la sensacion por las medidas que coinciden,

Y la idea es que la rueda controladora tiene 2 medias llantas que estan armadas a la "rueda" (esa "rueda" sería misma rueda controladora)??


Gracias!!!
