Going to try to use this old drill to sow some alfalfa, but have some questions first.
I've got no guide to tell me what to set it at to try for about 10lbs/acre seeding rate.
Anyone have an old manual that would say where to start?
Grass seed tubes are missing also, and half the people I talk to say they aren't needed any, just let seed fall on the ground.
Seed tubes seem to have a small formed metal piece that pinned to the back of the cup...those missing too, so no easy way to rig something up.
Can I run without these?
Lastly...anyone know the size of the flat chain that drives the grass cups? I've got idlers, but no chains.
