NE Iowa
I don’t have any other pics handy. Dad worked with local weld shop to put it together many years ago. Already had the 8r 7000. He bought an 8r 7100 that became the front bar. The front row units were shortened by trimming off the part of the frame that supports the insecticide boxes. Then the front bar was located just far enough in front of the back bar to allow room for the row units. The ‘fanciest’ weld/design part of the deal is the pivoting tongue (the original split tongue halves were welded together) so it stores in a little smaller footprint. Whole thing runs off a single transmission. Running Kinze brush meters. I’d be willing to do a video call with you sometime walking around it to show you whatever you’d like to see.

Dad (and I a few times) pulled it for a few years with a JD 730 - that was a joy (not). Steering wheel was ornamental on some hills - hard to plant a straight row while steering with the turn brakes.
