Pretty with a capital P. It's calendar material.
Do you suppose you could sneak over to my place here in NWIA to plug on a couple of rows for me? I planted 8 rows a little over a month ago and two rows rotted in the ground. Course the seed in those two rows had been under the pickup seat for I don't know how many years. Jim
 
Wish I had that planter for my 520.

Question: I purchased those arm rest to put on my 520, but I can't easily remove the seat base to disconnect the battery terminals. Does yours have enough clearance to raise up the lower seat cushion? If so, where did you purchase the cushion and the armrest. I have bought 3 different seats and armrest for mine and they are all too tight to raise the bottom cushion without removing the armrest and scratching the paint.
 
JD Fan,

I simply grab the lower inside of the arm rest and raise them up while still attached to the seats arm rails and slide the lower cushion forward towards the steering wheel. I did loosen their grip on the arm rail to allow easy removal and cushion removal.

Ya know, all you guys with your Hi-Tech equipment, (like the 48 row planter) are always just makin' normal folks feel inadequate. Wait. Fabulous lookin' combo ! I am jealous down to the ground !! I'm on 5 A's now, with no tillable (except for the danged lawn !!) GOOD ON YA !! b
 
I'd like to hear more on the planter. Model, year etc.
Any more pics?
I just finished some sweet corn with my 290 and '36A.
 
Ken,

It"s a 246 JD corn/cotton planter. My understanding is it was JD"s 1st mounted 2 row planter. Plants better than my 290 planter. Dates I believe are mid 1940"s to early 1960"s. Came in a 4 row version as well.

I may have to disk mine down and replant. It has been too wet to spray or cultivate. The grasses are taking over.
