I'll go get it Saturday. Hopefully will be planting some sunflowers later this spring.

good luck with your project. I have a 6 row 600 series no-till AC that I bought back in 1979 to plant corn and beans with, I cut it down to a 4 row and set rows on 36" rebuilt all the boxes with new knockers, caps, bearings, everything that went into each unit. also got a set of sunflower plates & filler plates from Lincoln ag. for it also. ( I use the john deere adaptor for the plates ) I now use it to plant a couple acres of sweet corn and a big sunflower patch for the doves. you would not believe how much the doves like sunflowers. like to see a picture when you get it done.

I'll keep it updated. I've been looking at planters for awhile and this one was close by and cheap so I will give it a whirl.

Snowed but we went after it anyway. Wife and boy rode with me so we could make a Sam's run on the same trip.

I'm happy for $350 two complete row units mounted on a toolbar, three hoppers, two lids.

I don't think there will be much to do to it other than cleaning it up and playing around with it to get it running smooth.

Nice find, it looks to be in good shape. Two row planters go fast around here, every time I see one it is already sold, still looking though.

dusty3030 how wide are your rows, they look to be about 30" rows.

Haven't even measured it, it's still on the trailer

I bought a manual off eBay and will try to fool with it some in the next week or two work and weather permitting.
