Oliver Grain Drill

[John Mason, Michigan]

Guys/Gals,
I know nothing about this type of implement. It is an Oliver Superior. I can make out 64-144 on the heavily worn tag. It has pneumatic tires on it. The lady said he (Art RIP) liked this unit and used it, I dont see how that would have been possible. It has 3 bins, I would have thought 1 size would have been for fertilizer but based on what I have read likely not. Its rusty, I would like to bring it back to life. Maybe its better suited for parts. Is there a manual out there? I gotta get some pictures of it yet......

I did not look at EBay before writing this ,but there's probably a manual ,reproduction at a reasonable cost , I say get the manual because if you engage the drills drive by accident or intentionally ,without the drive being total free you will bust critical drill components.
Experience is a very poor teacher.
Put your drill up on sturdy and safe Jack stand s and turn the unit by hand to ensure all is in properly work ing order , all three bins ,seed ,fertilizer grassseed and acre calculate .
Ther will be seed and fertilizer charts attached to the hopper cover doors if not the manual will have them .
Good luck
I have the thirteenth hole early model . Great drill well maintained does an excellent job . Happy planting
