John deer grain drill

jaroban · Jan 22, 2006

I have an old 12 foot John Deer drill that needs some parts . I use it on a deer lease. The part that holds the disk blade is the problem. I think it is called a (bottom). Are there any available in north Texas. I am not sure how to tell what model the drill is. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Robby

Probably gonna need a picture or two. If it ends up being an FB-B drill, I have a prisine NEW owners manual for it. (I'd like to sell)

Once you've identified the model, Shoup, Valu-bilt, and a few others carry some replacement parts.

could you post a photo of it? I have 2 grain drills. I forget the widths but we have been scavenging parts off one of them for years. All the parts seem interchangeable there are just more of them on the wider one.
I am close to Texarkana.

I hope to take some pictures this weekend. The drill is in east Texas and I live in the Fort Worth area. I think it is a model (b) . I know that some parts will interchange. The parts that I need are the casting that the disk hooks on . I have two JD drills one has a single disk and the other has two disks. Robby

At least one of my drills is a model (b). If you can Identify the other I would appreciate it. In closed are some pictures of both drills. Both are in working order and are used three or four days a year
