Looking at a 6 row 330 air planter; I know a lot of the parts must be obsolete but it's in good shape.

Couple of questions;

In general is there enough parts availability to keep it serviceable? Bearings, coulters etc...?

Are the individual row units called a different number like 71,72 or something? Trying to piece together the info.

The planter plates; they available anywhere?

Thanks, Matt

330 is the frame type. The units will have a number based on the series.

I had a 330 for a few years.  It had 78 air champ units on it.  the operator's manual covers 78 and 79 units.  it was in good shape but I was able to find some minor parts I needed thru a local dealer.  I was able to buy some milo seed disc's too.

To answer your question - some seed discs are some are not available - many used ones out there - we have some.  The desirable med/small corn discs are in short supply.  Yes chains, openers and brgs should be able to be sourced oem or ingenuity..  The KEY to this planter is air pressure - one hs to have 2 + Water Column's of air pressure.  Get a manometer gauge and check it before you start planting.  The 77 series units had flat chains - the later 78 series have roller chain drives.   Seed pads are expensive and are mandatory to be in good shape for accurate planting. 
When told "it's not the money,it's the principle", remember, it's always the money..

I've had a 330 for about ten years- bought from the original owner. I've replaced the seed sensors (about $190 each as I recall) and seed pads (don't recall the $) through AGCO. I had bearings go bad on a row marker and for whatever reason the ones I got through AGCO weren't correct but I was able to get bearings that work from a local bearings shop. I was able to get new rubber press wheel tires through ME Miller.

Way easier to get parts for the 330 as compared to my All-Crop drills.....
