Price Check Ontario Grain Drill

[IKalanj]

Trying to find a value on this McCormick-Deering Double Run Feed Grain Drill; has been in my barn for over 25 years. I understand that it was manufactured in Rochester, NY by the Ontario Drill Company (which no longer exists). I have the parts list and instruction manual (dated 1947).

Any info and a price would be help full

Looks very familiar, in the 60's I helped my dad plant a lot of oats with one of these, ours had rubber pneumatic tires though.

Maybe a few hundred bucks if you can find a collector or someone who needs an interesting piece of lawn decoration.

Several years ago I bought a pair of Minneapolis Moline P3-6 grain drills for $275. Used parts from both to make one good drill that I use for Kanota oats.

Here's before restoration

This gives you an idea of what $275 plus about $350 in new parts and a few months of restoration work can get you.

Good luck.
