Anybody know what kinda planter I got here? Its the one my Grandpa used to farm with. He always used it behind the WD45. Looks to be in decent shape, one hopper has been taken off for some reason, everything still turns freely and works. There are extra seed plates hanging in the barn. I pulled everything out of the barn to do spring cleaning.Also have the 3 bottom snap coupler plow.  Both of these implements have been with this tractor a long time. It is all still kept in the 3 section dirt floor tobacco barn. I have the planter and plow setting up on boards and plastic after cleaning and re organizing everything. Plus alot of WD45 parts hanging all over the walls. |

I'm pretty sure it's called the "All Crop" planter. I have one just like it. It's the same one that had seed plates that fit in a John Deere planter. ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."

That is the planter we used when we were selling. Yes, it used plates and you could vary the distance between drops by using various chain gearing. Worked fine for us till the no till came out. You may well find some almost anywhere cause it was the standard AC planter in the 50's. Good Luck! Bill long
