I rebuilt the box again around 20yrs ago. I think the lumber was $37, and not near the quality of the first. Anyway, When I rebuilt the box, I put and end cup slightly off center causing the grain to flow through it. I was going to start to replace the box today, thinking it was likely shot. I was somewhat supprised to find after not having used it in near 8yrs at least, that the box is still perfect. I hate to go through alla the effort in replacing everything on a new box just for that one cup. Any ideas? There is a lower slide that has a piece of tin with 3 or 4 slots cut in it. It is for adjusting the flow of seed. I dont remember what I had it set on tho I have the operators book here somewhere that would tell, but I had planted haygrazer with it and the book dosnt have that in it. I might just cap off that hole, but I hate to do that also. [Reply]   [No Email]
