    Transporting old Grain Drill question

    I will be purchasing an old Massey Harris grain drill. The man I am purchasing from has a tractor with forks that can load for me. What do you think is the best way to load this?

    Repairing an old cultipacker

    I spoke with one welder and he said with the time going into manipulating the steel plate, I would be better off buying another wheel.

    What kind of cultipacker wheels are these?

    No reason other than curiousity. I have been told some wheels are worn but are in good working condition. Never owned a packer, but read a lot about Brillion wheels and other manufacturers. I was mainly wondering if anybody could tell by the look and shape of the wheel , who made it.
