# 697 metal plate same as B-6 plastic; chart on old seed bag says small [short] flat field corn... canning company here [many yrs. back] recommended /694 or B-7/ for sweet corn [also used for med. flat field corn] ....

Ok, thanks a MILL for the Quick KNOWLEDGEABLE replays so lets go here a MIN. With gear SELECTOR set at 4 for 16 cell plates the cells look a little big for i would say SMALL sweet corn as when we planted it, we have many TWIN DROPS a few TRIPLES and for the most part SINGLES about 3 inches apart? What can i do to help this? Would like to space 6 inches or a touch more and get rid of the DOUBLES and TRIPLES Can you offer a CAST JD PLATE i might be able to PURCHASE and maybe change GEAR BOX selection , 3 or 2? Thanks Fellows.CARLYLE PS: Also anyone have a PERSONAL PARTS inventory left over?
