Planter help needed

[mbergeon]

My brother bought this 3 point two row planter several years ago and it has worked great. No markings or model numbers on it anywhere, but I'm guessing the actual planters are Oliver 343's.

We plant wildlife food plots, beans, corn and such, up to 25 acres a year.

Last year we had to finish up planting single rows as a part broke.

I don't know the proper terminology; I would call it a ring gear.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a place to order parts or even a diagram with part numbers for this?

Much appreciated.

I don't know anywhere to get the parts for an Oliver. Might do a google or yahoo search. If you have all the parts that broke, try getting them welded. Good luck. Mark

Can you post a pic of the broken part?

It's the ring gear under the bin, broke near the bearing where it would be hard to weld and get it to run true on the pinion gear.

This photo is a little better:

Thanks for helping!
