Dan, This is the basic Allis Chalmers corn planter that was also used on the G. You could get them with runner openers or double disc openers. Made in LaCross model LX-4962. Manuals - check this site and check e-bay - they are available from time to time.
Got this information from Pop's 1960 price book. At that time all we had was snap coupler or pin hitch. Three point hitch came later.
Good Luck!

It would be an Allis Chalmers Drill Planter or have I seen it called a WD Drill Planter. Best place for parts is probably by posting what you need here on the forum or by finding a parts machine someplace. There was a manual listed on ebay not that long ago.
Here is my planter mounted on my CA:

I'd like to have a planter like that. Can they be used to plant beans too? ------------- "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." Henry Ford |

Brian,
With the right plates, they can plant dang near anything. When they are wore out, they won't plant dang near anything.
There were a passle of them at the Muncy, PA sale in December, if I had take a torch, I would have bought a couple and stripped them. Didn't want to leave anything there though, glad I didn't.....

 There are several different crops listed in the manual that can be planted with them. Like Glenn says, it just takes the right combination of seed plates. ------------- "Yet there are soulless men whose hand and brain tear down what time will never give again." Anderson M Scruggs |

| Here's one in action. That's my father driving. He bought that planter about 20 years ago for $40 at an auction only because the only other guy bidding on it was the scrap man and he didn't want to see it go to scrap! We have planted 50+bushel/acre beans and 200+ corn with that planter. I have always said that the seed doesn't care if it's put in the ground with a $40 planter or a $40,000 planter![TUBE]43c1aQGaC5w[/TUBE] |

Here's mine...I plant corn and green beans using the same plate, set as thick as it will go. I'd like to get some plates set up for pumpkins. Mine has the disc openers on it so it makes a pretty good furrow. I unhook the drive chain and use it to lay out the rows for all the other vegetables. I am looking for another disc opener for mine since one has a tear and the rocks are making it worse.

| PennsylvaniaNewt, those are markers that you drop to leave a line in the dirt to follow with the center of the tractor to maintain row spacing. |

| My 83 year old grandfather who still actively farms told me that his planter needs a few parts. He needs the fertilizer shoes (i guess that's what they are called) and I think the plates. I have searched the net like crazy and haven't been able to find anything. He is the Williamsport, PA area. I have pics if that would help identify the parts. Used to be a place between Danville and Muncy that had alot of this stuff but I don't think they are in business anymore. Any help would be appreciated. |

Don I tried to load pics on there but they were too big. I could e-mail them too you to verify the part. He said there were two styles made of this part. Let me know if these are what you have I'd certainly be interested. There is a number on the side of the shoe (which sits behind the discs on each side) is 335845, I'm assuming this is a part number.
The second parts he is looking for is a disc with teeth on that sits at the bottom of the fertilizer bin. The number on it is 312477.
He said that he had the manual and parts book for it several years ago but isn't sure where it is.
Thanks for your help.

| I recently purchased a two row planter. I live 40 miles north of Williamsport Pa. I have not had a chance to look it over. I am away in Arizona for a couple of months. I need to have a hitch made for a B. No row markers and fertilizer boxes have been replaced with fiberglass boxes. Hope to use it next year |

Tom,
PM me when you get home. I have the B hitch on mine, can send pictures or might even bring it over to visit? Hope you enjoy AZ!

Hello DSG, First of all welcome, I live in Turbotville and the place you are referring to is probably Nichols farm equipment on the other side of Jerseytown and they are still an Agco dealer. However for these parts Jr. Fry at Fry's equipment behind Pennsdale would have these parts |

DSG is the part you are looking for on this page, Maybe the fertilizer divider?
I will look at the feed plates for the part # and post what I have in them lather.

Thanks for the diagrams. It is the divider that I was looking for but it's not of that design. I think my grandfather said the planter was about 40 years old. But not sure when it was manufactured. Those are the feed plates I was talking about. There is a piece underneath with three long metal teeth.
I'll try to get a pic up.

OK now I know you have gate type fertilizer units on the planter. I posted pics of the gear type units sorry about that.
I'll look for the right parts in the shop and get back to you later on today.

You know, this is one OLD post. Did you check the first entry FEBRUARY 2010.
When I saw it come up again I thought I had replied some time ago. I never realized that it was some 4 months ago. We were probably deep in snow then.
Good Luck!
