The original sticker that would have went on the box is no longer available. The charts are in the operators manual and can still be bought from a dealer omn159217.

I don't trust rate calculators on those old drills. A few years ago I did a complete restoration on a pair of Minneapolis Moline P3-6 drills (10-ft wide, 20 feeds, single disc openers). I used parts from both to make one good drill. The rate calculators were badly rusted and pretty useless.

I calibrated the drill I use for my hayfield by jacking it up with plastic pans underneath, turning the drive wheels the required number of revolutions for 1 acre and then weighing the seed in the catch pans. Repeated this for several settings on the feed cup position controls. It takes a few hours but it's accurate.

Good luck.
