I looked for one of them when I converted a JD 7000 4 row wide to narrow. Kalsem Salvage in Iowa didn't have any and wanted a princely sum if they did. Seems the 6 row narrow assembly is marginal when there's fertilizer on the planter and many have been crushed that way. And that has made the demand high. It may be quicker to cut out some pieces and weld them together and cheaper. Deere calls it a "wheel frame."

Mayer Farm Implement at Bevington Iowa takes 7000s apart and sells parts. A bar with wheel frame may be the way to get one.

The other alternative is to use the bolt on individual wheel assemblies from the wider planters. Will need that central balancing cylinder probably too. For sure it gives more versatility in row spacings.
