| It's a good simple no till planter. It's basic and doesn't compare to some of the newer stuff but will plant a crop and do a reasonable job of it. Are the drive chains flat or bicycle type? Are the units air? Do the have the side depth wheels on them? They had a ton of different types of plates for the unit, and as well you can use JD 71 unit planter plates. It requires a plastic adapter hub for the plate to set in. Some parts are available from shoup and I believe Sloan. The JD double disc fertilizer blades can be used instead of the AC blades and hubs, they are heavier. You would be doing yourself a big favor by pulling the no till coulter hubs off and repacking and installing new seals. I believe shoup sells the kit for those hubs that includes both bearings, cones, and the seal for about $13. Ask away. I have a lot of parts for these planters, plates AC and JD with adapters, down preasure springs, boxes, etc. It will make for a good cheap starter planter. O by the way..... Find a set of markers off of something and adapt them.... Anything. | |
