Dearborn Peoria Model 12-40 Grain Drill

[Summers70]

I was recently lucky enough to find and purchase a Dearborn Peoria Model 12-40 Grain Drill w/ the grass seeder attachment. I have both the manual and a parts book for it but I’d love some first hand knowledge and experience/advice on it. Anyone have/use on of these? Anyone have any luck finding or fashioning parts for it? It seems in pretty good shape but I’ll admit I don’t know a lot about them. It definitely needs drop tubes for the grain tubes and the grass seeder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ideally I’d like to use it and show it. Here’s a picture of it.
