J D 1240 planter
Hi Wannabe, I concur with both Leroy and Jon. If it's a plate, we had one of the old 494As which was a real classic and basically the same planter as the 1240. We then went up to a Model 80 Unit Planter, which is a finger-pickup and basically the same as the 1240 plateless. I love it, and...- coolfarmer

JD 80 Unit Planter Hoppers
Thanks Jon, forgot that the 1240 and the 60s had the same boxes, that's very helpful. I'll call around some of the salvage yards, fingers crossed. We don't have many ag salvage yards here in New England, but I'm taking a cruise down to the Lancaster area in Pennsylvania later in the week to...- coolfarmer

JD 80 Unit Planter Hoppers
Hey there Mike! Hmmm, very good idea, let me look into that a bit. Even if they're close, maybe I could make some minor modifications to them to. It is a plateless indeed, a finger pickup. The seed boxes are rectangular in shape, I believe they're 1 bushel boxes. My cousin is a stainless...- coolfarmer

JD 80 Unit Planter Hoppers
Hey All! Been a while since I posted anything, hope all is well. I'm running several planters these days, and while I love the cool new vacuums I still have a soft spot for my old JD 80 Unit Planter. For corn and beans, still runs great. I'm starting to finally get some rust through on the...- coolfarmer
