2 Row Corn Planter (3 Pt)

Hi - thanks for any help in advance!

I found a 2 row corn planter (3 point hitch) for sale locally.

Here are 2 images:

Also, it is the exact same model as this one on ebay:

Only identification I can find is CASE written on the seed hopper. Anyone know the model # so I can find out what type of seed plates it uses? Or if you know the types of seed plates that would be great. Have been googling for an hour and only thing I found was the ebay ad for similar... Thank you.

Thanks!
 
I'll just say it helps you get results if you actually add a picture here, or if you at least put the addresses in a clickable link. Both option are below here on the message enter page.

I'm not real sure on the way they mounted that 3pt seems weak to me?

Dad had a 'modern' 4 row 2-point Case planter back in the 60s, it was a good enough planter. Seemed plates were hard to find back then, Case was different and less common than anyone else.

Here planters are always disk openers. Runner setups like that don't work well at all on our soils. I see runners like that in other parts of the country, perhaps it's the real deal where you are. I'd make sure tho, I think disk openers are pretty good in most soil types.....

I'm not going to go thru the rigamarole to see your planter.
1968 and later Case planters used IH plates, but that planter pictured here tooks to me to be much older than that. If the planter you are describing needs Case plates, and you can't find them, I would pass on that planter. Without the proper plates those old planters become yard art. Keep looking and you will eventually find a JD or IH planter you can work with.

As someone else said if you can not find parts and plates the old planter just becomes yard art,

Two row planters are getting more rare each year,

At least before you buy, check with your local dealer and be sure he can order parts,
I bought a John Deere 25 B two row planter years ago, needed a couple of bearings for the fertilizer hopper, the dealer had them in a couple of days,

Also this is not a good time to buy corn drills, plows, disk, if possible always buy on a cold day in the winter,
Seems like the price doubles in the spring

Hope you find a good planter
 
The number of the plate you need depends on the seed corn you buy. When you buy corn that is graded per seed size and type, the recommended plate number is on the bag. Not in an operator manual for the planter.
 
Get it only if you want a collector show piece. As far as using you will not find plates for it And plate size was never listed on seed bag for Case planters as there were none around at any time. And am 73 and on this farm all my life and have never seen a Case planter of any model, type or size. Even the family that was Case dealer uses Deere planter of the 60's.
 
We as a case dealer sold our share of Case planters from horse drawn to Case stopped building planters. That one is a model 46 pull type that has been converted to 3pt.
Here is the plate chart. The last I knew plastic plates were available thru Lincoln ag.

So what years were that planter made? Dough if it is newer than 1968 and only after that did they have a plate to fit a Case.
