2-row Allis planter for corn

[StrmChzr]

Bought this cut down Allis Chalmers planter in 2001 from guy in SW MO who told me "John Deere green" sells.....

Used planter a couple seasons a decade ago. Getting ready to dust the AC off in a couple weeks to plant corn in food plot and need a refresher course for adjusting seed spacing, press wheel, etc...

Anybody familiar with AC planter adjustments? Also seed plates looking a little scraggly with more than a few teeth missing, so need to locate and purchase new corn plates.

Lincoln Ag has JD plates that they sell an Allis Chalmers adapter.
Looks like model 74 row units.
I have a manual for those if you would like I could send you information from it just PM me your email address.

Count the teeth on your driving (packing wheel side) sprocket and the driven sprocket (hopper side) and I can tell you your spacing for different plates.

Thanks for the knowledge Dusty!

-Is it possible to add fert bins and side dress when planting?
-If side dressing is possible, would Lincoln AG have parts to do this or is that a custom fab project?
-Can planter be weighted down to no-till if ground is concrete hard?

I believe the right row of planter has 20 teeth on both driving and driven sprocket.

The left row row planter is around 30 teeth for both driving and driven sprockets.

Cool, I will send you the pages out of the book on what those should be giving you in spacing with 16 and 24 cell plates tonight.
On fertilizer boxes, I have never seen any, but I will send you what the book has. They were an option. I would think you would most likely have to conjure up something on your own, but I don't know for sure I have never tried to buy the original parts to see.
