Steve, you had so many units at your place I ran out of drool!! until my trip last fall I had never seen a planter unit in person, between all the tours I can not count how many I have seen now, I really would like to come back soon and look things over again

Steve, what do the paddle wheels do? take out the tire tracks?

ok i got it up loaded

The big paddle wheel drives the planter units. The spades make the wheel turn which turns the jackshaft to run the planter units.

Same lift system as the pic. I posted below of the two row lister. Your planter uses the lifting bail system on the DC and SC tractors. You're missing the two pieces and springs that hook to the lifting bail. I'll see if I have a pic. to show them.

[casecollectorsc]

In this pic. you can just see the shaft and springs beside the seat...
