I bought one at a local scrap yard that is complete except for the seed boots. It is not seized and appears to be in working condition if I can figure out a replacement boot assembly. From what I understand these are pretty rare, and I cannot find many photos on the internet.

If anybody has one can you take photos of your boots, or one for parts that would be great.

That is a strange looking drill. I have never seen one like it. I did find it on deere's web page. There is a PDF file of the parts catalog. It doesn't call them "openers" it calls them "applicators" and each applicator has a coulter that runs ahead of it. The coulters look like JD plow coulters but they are notched and come in 15" or 17". Looks like they were made in the 1955-1956 era as some parts are listed as after 1956 and some are listed as prior to 1956.

Suggest you look it up on the deere web page.

Good luck.
 
That is a great start. I didn't know JD had this stuff available on line!

Thanks!

If anybody has any applicators I am interested in buying them. Otherwise I am going to redneck engineer something until I find some.
 
I have really been wanting a Pasture Dream, but couldn't find one at a decent price in my area. I have been looking for 2 years. I found this one and am going to convert it to mount with a 3 point hitch similar to the Pasture Dream.
 
I know this is a old post. Did you get your drill working? i got a drill from my father-in-law. looking for parts. needing the bottom plates in the fert. (large) bin. making new sheet metal panels for same box. As you stated hard to find parts. any info on finding parts will really help. Thanks
