| Hello ! I just joined the forum looking to get some info on a planter I just picked up. I bought a CA with a cultivator and two row planter, and for the life of me I can’t find the model number of the planter. I’ve never used one so I’d like to track down a manual. |

| My father bought a planter exactly like that in 1950 with a WD, planted about 25-30 acres a year and converted it to a 4 row in about 1970. Just sold it about 1yr. ago. I still have the WD. |

No real model number, AFAIK, we always called them wd planters. That one bolts to the drawbar, and has chains or flat bars to the lift arms...

I was able to hook it up to the CA easy enough, and I went through and greased everything. It still had some corn in it, so I turned it over by hand and it seemed to work alright. Should I just give up looking for a manual? After spending some time tinkering with it, it seems pretty straight forward (or at least so I think) |

Never give up looking. Sometimes they show up on fleabay, I've had better luck, by going to tractor shows, there is a loose network of manual dealers, that kinda follow the tractor show circuit, at least around here, in MD, and SEPA... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee.
