This drill is marked John Deere plow company inside right side grain bin. No data or model plate. Think it looks like a Model B? It is just over 10 feet wide on box top with 20 seeders at 6" spacing and double disc openers. Can anyone definitely ID?

For some reason I was thinking the F in FB meant fertilizer and this unit does not have fertilizer boxes, just grain seed and grass seed. That's why I posted, what info I could find in J.D. Catalogs was real nebulous. So many variations. It seems to be in reasonable shape. Cleaned the weeds off it today and started going over it. Found and greased zeros etc, I found one missing spring and some drag chains that need repair. Other than that, most everything is free and turns. I think depth adjustment screws may need to be freed up. The folks I got it from said they planted with it a couple years ago.
 

It's definitely a model "B" commonly referred to as a "plain grain" drill. I can still remember assembling them when they were brand new

No ID plates, everything was just painted on both frame and box. The FB that I had the serial number on the box was different than the frame so when dealer had gotten 2 of them they did not take care to put all parts for one drill in pile but bixed up parts for both drills so there was a second drill out there with mixed up serial numbers.
