REBUILDING A COVINGTON PLANTER

[turnerbend]

Anybody ever restored a 1 row planter on a shoestring budget? This is one that I've been working on the past couple weeks. Still have a some work to do. I will need something (cultivator) to mount it on when I'm finished.

First time I have ever seen one of this design. Quite fascinating. Can you please post details of seed delivery and explain the two containers - I am guessing seed and fertiliser, if so how is the fertiliser flow regulated? Old McDonald.

I just picked up two planters from my dad, and plan to make one good one out of the two. If you don't know, the round hopper was for planting cotton, and the rear hopper is for other seedstock. It has interchangeable plates to regulate the seed spacing. The fertilizer hopper is missing on yours, but sits in front of the cotton hopper. I'll try to post some pictures of mine soon, and maybe that'll help.

Mobilus: The way I'll be using the planter I didn't want the fertilizer hopper on it. This one is the pre 1963 model. Did you find the pictures to post?
