John Deere Van Brunt ?help?

[greentractor]

I have a John Deere Van Brunt that I'm supposed to repaint and everything. I've been looking it up and it it should be somewhere in the early 1900's but I don't know the model. Once I see it again, I will take a picture and add it on here so that someone can help me. I have no clue what the paint looks like but I do know it's a five-disc drill. Can anyone help me please?

This is all I can find, A neighbor has it in his barn and the picture is not the best. Ken Sweet

I'd go to the John Deere Horicon Wisconsin plant for information. They grew from the Van Brunt factory there, and would surely have the history behind the drill you have.

A search should get you zero'd in on the right place.
