Folks,
I ran across an option to buy an old horse drawn (Walk behind), single row JD and Mansur corn planter. Everything is intact and in decent shape. Selling for $250. My questions are:
1) Is there any online literature that details the original picture/colors of such a plow or info on model number? (All I can find is that it falls in the 1877-1910 range)
2) I'm looking at doing a possible restoration on it with my kiddos, but don't want to through $250 at it, if it's not worth it.
Any/all help is greatly appreciated. I cross posted pictures in the implement forum. Thanks again!
