WD bedder/lister planter

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm trying to put together a WD lister planter for a local show (and maybe take to Creston's show).  I would like to know if there's a book for a later model that drives off the tractor LH wheel. The book I have(TM-17)  shows a separate drive wheel mounted to the tool bar.
I have a sprocket that mounts to 4 special wheel lug bolts,  but the book I have doesn't show any of that. I have the 'special' lug bolts..

	Short answer: Yes, there has to be a later book, or a different one that states "with tractor drive." Long answer: My December 1957 "Bedders, Planting Attachments, and Lister Planters" parts catalog indicates the "WD" bedder or lister used the separate drive wheel up until July 1951. No. 1 and No. 2 2-row planters used "tractor drive" (sprocket on the rear wheel) effective July 1951. It then also shows a separate drive wheel effective January 1955 on the 2-row listers. It's pretty confusing and I can't tell if AC switched back and forth or if both types of drives were offered as options at the same time. The No. 1 and No. 2 4-row rear mounted planter appears to have only ever used "tractor drive". How many rows is yours?

	Well,, John,, the book i have shows a 3 row bedder, 2 row planter...my book must be an early one,, only shows a separate drive wheel to run the planter, no mention of a tractor drive.i think this is the I original book that my grandad got with the tractor/planter/combine, that he bought new in 1949.... I got enough parts to build 2-4 row, and several of the belly hitch tool bars,of various widths from the 90" and 120", Edited by Michael V (NM) - 11 hours 51 minutes ago at 9:57pm
