I have, what I think, is a MT 6000 transplanter with a carousel for dropping the seedlings into the furrow. Today we put in 800 sweet corn 1.5" x 1.5" cells and we had some trouble keeping all the plants upright. When we lowered the cutting depth of the machine, the carousel would not feed the...

Update: I was able to use the sprayer for my first oil dormancy spray this past weekend. Worked great. It took a little doing to get the nozzle rate dialed in. I had the best luck with TeeJet orifice discs D3 at waist height, D2 higher up. I had to take the Cone Jet nozzles out due to using...

Update: Weather in the area was in the upper 40's last night so I was able to install the new piston cups and assembly. Someone on here, I believe Seven Gables, mentioned boiling them to soften them up. Worked great. I used my old Coleman camping stove, an old pot and dropped them in. They...

Those are really close, I am just NOT ready to drop $30 a piece for 18 of them.......I also like bringing back some old things back from the dead. (As you guys already know). A question I do have is the replacement diaphragm. I see them in a variety of lbs. Is the lbs the PSI that the check...

Asian units have yet to arrive, I anticipate a month or so.

They are pretty darn stiff. Not sure if that is from age or that is how they are.

NOS Piston cups showed up, look pretty good. They are pretty stiff. I am wondering a couple things. 1) Is this the way they come? Seven Gables has noted that they are tough to get in, I assume this maybe what I am going to encounter. 2) What is a good lubricant that can be used to assist...

Well, I was able to grab the NOS units for $20 each. Not too bad! I am still going to explore the overseas units just for the sake of giving it a try.

Given the price point of the overseas units, I am probably going to buy both. I would experiment with the overseas units to see where it gets me. I would also make an offer on the NOS units. Let's see what happens!

$2.90 each
