I bought my press drill in Plankinton SD. The neighbors bought 2 7' drills there also. The only other ones I knew of at the time had been sold at Huron Case Power and Equipment. They were sold out but I bought the walkway kit from them. [Reply]  [No Email]

The drive mech. on the fertilizer units are the same as my Melroe drills but the fert. box itself is made out of aluminum. So Case must have bought fert. units from Melroe. Tom, if you do have 8' units they must be special as all this lit. lists only 7' press and 12' endwheel. [Reply]  [No Email]

Gramps and Dad had Oliver JD and IH drills. Neighbors had IH JD or Melroe. Always wondered why Case didn't fare better with their drills. They seemed to do fine with tillage and hay equipment in the area but the planting equipment just didn't have a following. [Reply]  [No Email]

What's interesting is the galvanized box was painted over and decaled from the factory. The wheels and decals are sand colored. Maybe one of the last Case built ???? [Reply]  [No Email]

I know how mad I would be if that happened to something I wanted! The guy that had my ED was supposed to keep it inside up in Canada, instead it was put out after about a month. So it spent nearly six months out in the Ontario acid rain. The paint was much brighter in the original pictures of it. Nothing I could do about him lying either. [Reply]  [No Email]

But hey, thats what makes an auction! The owner fessed up to bending the hitch into a pretzel when he got too rough with it moving it for the sale. What he didn't own up to was the bent frame that "mustve been that way" even though the paint had fresh stress cracks in it and both transmissions had two gears each with half the teeth freshly busted off. Grrr. So unless I find a donor drill with the same gear ratios, I don't think it will be planting any time soon. I can't tell you how many times good old machinery I wanted turned into scrap two days before the sale. Usually from being liberated from the sod or trees in a not so gentle way. [Reply]  [No Email]

I knew where one partial press drill was but not sure if it's still there, I had spoken for it and will check to see if its there and has the parts you need,, man that sucks they tore it up, really ticks me off!! cnt [Reply]  [No Email]
