Case Grain Drills

Farmall 656 · Jul 10, 2017

Were the Case grain drills built with standard component parts? What I am getting at is I have seen smaller drills...5ft for deer plots etc...that are "cut down" from larger drills. Can I make the assumption that the Case were built using components, making a 10 ft drill from two 5 ft sections, or a 12ft drill from two 6ft sections, etc? I know Case made a 6 ft drill as I found one on a local consignment sale lot, but are larger Case drills able to be "simply" made into smaller drills?

The smaller drills you are finding are pony drills. From 4' to 8' used with a packer and sowed grain behind a plow. Back in the 50s-70s a lot of grain was sowed this way. Bought a brand new 7' pony drill when I started farming in 1968.

Here are pictures of a Case drill that was "cut down" and the third picture is of an original 6 ft Case Drill.
