JD Planter?

Looks like you'll have 'er ready to plant in no time. There's been a bunch of plates on ebay. Lot cheaper than the $14.25 price for the new ones. Mark

Now that you bought it and are fixing it up, when can I borrow it?
I won't make you deliver it all the way to my place, I'll meet you halfway as long as you bring some help to move it over to my trailer

well its got a long way before its "right"- I am getting it ready to plant those 6ac of sunflowers. After that- the real work begins trying to go thru the entire thing restoring it. One thing I have to add is a dang kick stand mount-- this sucker is heavy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! alot more than I thought it would be... But one thing about farm eq. is heavy is good!

You got a good one at a good price. That one popped out to me on the craigslist for sure. Hope it works out well and the sunflowers are covered up with dove birds come September!

I am keeping a record of pics- by order of my wife- She isnt in to the work part but wants me to keep a picture log of the progress. It will be the first time restoring something like this. I am in the process of getting the 3pt hitch reconfigured to fit my tractor- lower pins where way wide at about 38in had to flip the pins to the inside to get it off the trailer. Top pin is set about 12inch back so my top link just does works- Got all of it off tonight and will see if I cant get a more user friendly hitch on it this weekend.. stay in touch..
