If anyone has a 70 series manual. I’d appreciate some help. My planter right now is set up on 30” rows with 24 cell sunflower plates. It has a 18 tooth drive socket and a 10 tooth driven socket. Would anyone happen to know the seed spacing I would have with this setup?

We lost all our manuals -but

Even though it is flat chain 74 series the charts are the same.  You could do the math - a 10/14 = 8" spacing.  A better method is to measure the OD of your drive tire - Roll it one revoution exactly - and count the seeds and divide into the circumfrence.  Kee in mind some sunflower seed plates require a filler plate as sunflower seed are half the depth of a corn kernal.

.

Old school method is drag it down the hard dirt driveway and then measure/count the seed drops.

Next best is measure the diameter of the ground wheel you have and then the teeth per gear involved. Ratio everything and there you go.

Jvin248, you just brought back a memory for me of my dad and grandpa. I can hear my dad telling my grandpa it wouldn’t work. He said he couldn’t pull that planter in that hard ground. Grandpa said sure you can. I’ll even help push if I need to. Thanks for the memories.
