John Deere Model B 1963 Grain Drill Seed Stopage

After planting a single small food plot, one or more of the seed boots are clogged with soil. It is usually only one or two. But in one case it was six of seven. What can I do to prevent this?:confused2:

Lower front on drill at the clevis hitch to alter angle of boots. Possibility disk are worn to small allowing soil closer to boot seed opening. DEFINITELY never back up with disks down.

The disc are badly worn, so that is probably the cause. Thanks for the quick response.

You're Welcome! I can remember WAY back when I assembled those NEW drills when I was employed at the local JD dealership.
