290 JD planter

[Lonni]

I am looking for an H 2714 B wheel drive hub for John Deere 290 planter. Advise.

 

[Mark Poss]

You might try Dean in Peosta IA 563 580 5262. Good luck

 

[gmcdeadhead]

they have one listed on parts depot, call your john deere dealer and ask them to order it for you

 

[Lonni]

I called local Deere dealer and they could not help me. You
say some dealers use parts depot to get parts? Can you give
me the name of your dealer ?

 

[Lonni]

I got in touch with Dean in Iowa but he did not have any parts that I could use. Thanks for the effort. Surely those parts are out there somewhere.

 

[gmcdeadhead]

let the dealer no you seen the part number available on parts depot and order it for you , try a couple of different dealers, you can even do it over the phone and have it shipped to you, i usually go through deere country in lancaster pa , good luck

 

[Lonni]

Thanks my Deere dealer found a hub for 4o dollars in tenn.
appreciate the tip. They could not find the sprocket.

 

[Greenfrog]

Can you show a picture of what you are looking for.

 

[Lonni]

 

[Leroy]

If you have a good one on the other side with that a good welding shop could rebuild your broken piece. A year ago I had 4 planters with that piece that went for scrap.

 

[Greenfrog]

Hmmmmmm....?🤔
Mine has H2557B on it
Are you restoring a 290?

 

[gmcdeadhead]

greenfrog, your part number shows for year 1953-54, lonni's part number shows from year 1954- and on , maybe theres a difference in the casting , maybe not

 

[Greenfrog]

Here is a picture of mine

 

[Greenfrog]

Lonni,
A couple more Picts...

For some reason they loaded sideways.
I was restoring a 1948 check row 290 planter. It had spoke wheels.
This sprocket came off of, yes, a more recent model ; it had solid wheels. Probably about 53 or 54. Nearby farmer gave me this old planter when he knew I was working on a restoration project. The one I restored was my father?s.
You think this sprocket will work for you?

 

[Greenfrog]

Lonni, please see three Picts of the sprocket and written info

 

[Lonni]

That?s sure looks correct. Mine measures 3/4 in on outside and 2 1/2 in on inside . 14 tooth?

 

[Lonni]

Just my luck. Your correct a good machine shop could recreate.

 

[Lonni]

And how deep is that recess where it slips on the hub?

 

[Greenfrog]

3/8 inch. Yes I noticed on your broken one , yours much deeper. I have a feeling this is not the right one.

 

[Greenfrog]

Bore is slightly over 1 inch. 1 1/16
Your looks larger.

 

[Lonni]

Well darn it. That?s the closest match I?ve seen. Yes that eight sided shaft on the hub is probably 1-1/2 long. I?ll keep looking

 

[Greenfrog]

That is probably why it broke off in the first place...kind of like too much torque on a deep well socket!
Anyway, good to chat with ya on a common interest. I actually thought there was not that much variation among parts on these old planters

 

[Lonni]

I will do some more measuring on my sprocket. It could have been that mine had just a 3/8 ? recess also.
Does yours measure 21/2 in from sprocket to the end and 3/4 from Sprocket to the other end?

 

[Greenfrog]

Yes, mine measures about 2 1/8 on long side and 3/4 on short side. Not quite the same. I?m mystified about how deep the hex end is on yours. 🤔🤔
Where you at? I?m in west central Illinois.
Are you restoring one? Is this sprocket for looks or for actual driving?

 

[Lonni]

I?m near Evansville in in Gibson county. Yes I was wanting to plant sweet corn with it. The inside of the sprocket is worn so bad you can?t make a determination how deep the hex was. If yours is 21/8 on long side v/s 21/2 I don?t think it would work. I?ll just have to keep looking. Thanks . A machine shop could recreate that sprocket I was told. Probably be expensive. May have call it a yard ornament !!

 

[Greenfrog]

Can you make do with what you have...weld it to the hub. Anyway, good chatting with you. Good luck.

 

[Greenfrog]

Lonni, here is my display at local county fair. 1942 case sc and 1948 checkrow planter. Both were my dad?s and restored by me.

 

[Greenfrog]

Lonni, anyway good chatting with you. Good luck on the sprocket project. YT is great for finding such parts. I traded some parts I had for some parts another guy needed. Where else could one make connections for that.

 

[gmcdeadhead]

lonni, what part number are you looking for?

 

[Lonni]

Its a H2601B 14 tooth drive sprocket.

 

[gmcdeadhead]

lonni, i'll check with a guy i no that has alot of NOS john deere parts , i'll get back to you

 

[gmcdeadhead]

lonni, you have a later planter , thats what that part number is for , my friend does not have the later one , he does have the earlier one though, i guess keep looking around,
