two row corn planter

I have a '45 RTU that we got running a while back that I hope to give to my granddaughter some day. I was wondering if they made a two row corn planter for that tractor? I have been borrowing my F-in-L C Farmall to plant sweet corn. I think it would be fun to find a planter for the RTU. Are there any around? Dale
 

Here are a few pics from at the Plainview TX sale a couple of months ago, so they are around if you keep your eyes open.

I bought the 4 row planter to go with one of my tractors.

Howard that's kind of a neat set-up. I have never seen a planter like that before. Looks like there must be a sprocket on the axels to drive the planter. I will be looking around this winter and hopefully I can find something.
 

Yes - I think it is a two piece bolt-on cast sprocket that is about a foot across. They are not uncommon in the old junk & parts piles around in this country, though I guess the same as anywhere - the parts piles are getting fewer.

And I"ve seen a few of these old planters (I even found one just like this 4 row - but in slightly worse condition at the flea market, of all places, about a year ago), but to me, both them and the smaller tractors seem to be more common back up in the midwest...

LA Cases, GB MM"s, D JD - the old wheatland style tractors as opposed to row crops - were a lot more common out here on the high plains...

From your IP address, you may be up around Wisconsin?? If so, you might ask over at Biewers Salvage at Barnesville, MN... I"ve never been in there, but have seen their place from the highway and they might be a start.

That Lister planter at Brocks is a very odd item in the Midwest/corn belt. There is another style planter for a 'R', Still rear mounted,tho.it does not drive from the rear wheels like the auction one does. The press wheels do the driving.
The rear wheel drive sprockets have different numbers of teeth . That is to vary the planting rate.
If you are in Wis, mite look at Lakeside Imp at Harrisville,Wis. They have older, smaller stuff. clint
 
Howard, funny you brought up Biewers I just called them the other day looking for some odd parts for a John Deere two row cultivator. The woman I talked to said they would get back to me. My wife's sister has a cabin up that way so some day I hope to get over there. It's getting kind of cold to go to salvage yards now. I live in central Minnesota. Our mechanic at work brother is a scraper so he is going to look for a planter, and let me know if he comes across one. Dale
 
Clint that planter does look a little bulky. I don't get over to Wisconsin to often. I guess I'm in no hurry. It a little easier justifying a tractor to the wife if I have a use for it. Besides I do what I wont to anyway. As long as she say's so. We plant some sweet corn every year and all her family helps freeze it. It's kind of fun. Dale
 
Thats funny! Maybe these old planters weren"t common anywhere! Lol..

Where are located OleClint??

To me, those look like "side dressers" for fertilizer. I've got a set for my front mounted cultivator which are driven by a sproket on the rear axle. I've got 1 2 row 3 point planter and parts to make a 4 row for sale if they'll do the job for you. 847-309-7347
