NEEDED: Grass Seed Box Chart for John Deere Van Brunt FB-A Grain Drill

[spetro]

Hello!

This is my first time posting on any sort of forum, so I hope I'm doing this right...

We have a Van Brunt grain drill (model FB-137A) with a grass box, grain box, and fertilizer box. We use it primarily to plant cover crops on our 40 acre vegetable farm.





So far, it has been great! However, I've only planted small grains with it (oats, winter wheat, buckwheat). In the future, I'd like to use the grass box to plant clover, grasses, and pasture mixes.

The grain box has a seeding chart (see pic below), but the seeding chart on the grass box has been removed.



I purchased an operator's manual from a John Deere dealership, but it does not contain any seeding charts.

I just called a John Deere dealership to get the grass box chart, but was told the drill is too old and they don't have that info anymore.

Does anyone know where I can get a grass box chart for this drill (a fertilizer chart would be nice as well, but not essential)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you can't find a seed chart available from a JD dealer for the FB-A then this chart for a model B might help & be close to correct.

Perfect, I need a clean or clear copy of the feed rate, this is the same model that I have, a Van Brunt FB-A. The readings look the same to what I have, my is corroded really bad so I can not make out all of the numbers.
