Identify a grain drill

[redgrizzly]

I have a McCormick grain drill, I believe is a model M But I want to be sure before I buy a manual for it. The only numbers I can find are stamped into the metal of the big seed box, right rear corner. They are H 83737 N It also has 16 X 6 labeled on the side of the seed box. Thanks

How wide is yours? I have one and I think it has 16 x 6 on it too. It is 11 or 12 feet wide. Don't know the exact model of it either. It does work like a charm though.

A 16x6 would be 8 foot wide wouldn't it?

That is kinda what I thought, but I don't know anything about drills. I bought mine at an auction for 50 bucks, because of the shape it was in. I can't go look at it is at my dads place 60 miles from here. It does say somethimg x6, but is 11 or 12 feet wide. The next time I am over there I will go look to see what is on it. I have only used it a couple times and it works good. You pull the rope and the openers drop, pull it again and right up they come. What do you think about it? I don't know.

Gary, I had a flash, I think mine says 16 X 10 instead of 16 X 6, but not sure.
