    Jd 7000 planter question

    Since someone has done away with the transmission, the rate chart I posted will not be correct. My point about sprocket teeth was only brought up to explain that your chart sticker may have been for #40 chain, while the planter may be running #2040. I agree with "wore out" that the ratio is the...

    Jd 7000 planter question

    Attached is the planting rate chart for a 7000 planter with finger pickup meters. If you have plate-type meters, the chart is different. I do not see a 19 or 38 tooth sprocket in the chart, but I hope this helps. Lon

    Jd 7000 planter question

    Are the sprockets made for 2040 roller chain? If so, then your driver is the equivalent of a 26 tooth sprocket for #40 roller chain, and the driven sprocket would be equal to a 38 tooth.

    JD 5425 transmission

    I had that problem with a 6220. I replaced the left hand forward/neutral/reverse lever assembly on the steering column, and it has worked well ever since (Had 1500 hours on it when it went bad).

    7000 fertilizer openers in soybeans

    I pin them up when planting beans. As mentioned by caterpillar guy, you can lower each opener onto a block of wood and put the clevis pin into a different set of holes to hold the opener up. Take your time- those fert opener springs have a lot of force when they're pinned in the upper position. Lon

    Implement Salvage Yards

    Either Meyer's tractor salvage in Aberdeen, SD, or the All States Ag Parts yard in Salem, SD may have what you need.

    Silo for Saturday

    Those two have some capacity! I'd estimate the shorter one at 20x70, and the one nearby to be about 24x100.

    Silo for Saturday

    It's not uncommon to see the older silos added onto, but the taller one in this photo has been added onto twice. The first time, it appears two doors were added. Later on, the height was increased by three additional doors. Each time they did so, they topped it off by painting the new upper...

    Width of Wagon

    Some online sources also give dimensions for wagon beds: one size was 38 inches wide, 10 and a half feet long, and sides 20 inches high. Sometimes that depth was doubled, and an additional depth in a third course of 9 or 11 inches was added. A wider version than this was made as well, with the...

    Width of Wagon

    The old triple box wagons were twelve feet long and three feet wide, and each of the three courses of sides were twelve inches high. Those dimensions would give a wagon a capacity of about thirty bushels for every twelve inches in depth, or ninety bushels for a triple box that was thirty-six...

    Silo for Saturday

    I live near the MN/SD border. All of those names are familiar, in addition to Norling, Madison, and Yankton. It would be neat to have a picture guide for all the brands of silos.

    H Farmalls--Show of hands...

    We still use two Hs on the farm. I agree they are handy for haying. They also work well for moving machinery around, running small augers or elevators, pulling a yard drag, feed wagon, or manure spreader.

    Silo for Saturday

    The old white Hanson silos had either two, three, or four rows of black and white checkers. I've seen several smaller silos like this one with two rows, and quite a few large ones with four, but most seem to have three rows. I assume it is related to the size of the silo, but does anyone know...

    World record Farmall h?

    We used to spot loaded railroad hopper bottom cars with a Farmall M. They held around 200,000 pounds of grain alone. However, I assume you are talking about a weight sled at a tractor pull.
