Planters Is This a Case 2 Row Planter? I got ripped off on Craiglist

[lipchili]

I bought this 2 row planter on Craigslist. The fine gentleman I purchased it from forgot to mention that only one row works - the other is missing the gear drive that turns the plate on the seed hooper. Grrrr.

So the first step in trying to find a part is to identify the specific model of planter. The top of the seed boxes and fertilizer hoppers says Case. However I can not seem to locate any Case planter that looks like this. Is it possible this is a Black Hawk or some other planter with the boxes added from a different Case planter?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Did you ask the seller? Maybe it fell off and is laying around his place somewhere.

He has not returned any of my texts back to the number we communicated on when I purchased it a few months back. Pretty sure he knew exactly what he was doing...

That is an awesome looking planter. They are still popular for gardens and truck patching in places.

Use a different number than your's.

Any good machine shop can make that for you. You have the pattern from the working unit, just take that to a machinist to make a copy.
