Have not had much time to post lately as I have been helping dad,going to shows and riding my mountain bike.
Here's a pic of dads 1190 with my box blade on it.I just finished the dirt work on the side of dads building.

Heres a few pics of my Case 45e eagle hitch planter.I have advertised for a check wire reel for it with no luck.A friend of my brothers found one for me.It was advertised as being for a Deere or Oliver because of green paint!
I hope to plant some corn in the future using check wire.

(quoted from post at 04:56:37 10/24/12) whats the tractor with the forklift on it?

It's a 630 gas with triple range.
I've always said that a 300 Case is everything you ever wanted a VAC to be.
And a 630 Case is everything you ever wanted a 300 to be.I like them all but the 630 with power steering and triple range is a nice tractor to operate.

Nick, good to hear you have been busy AND enjoying your self too!! the 1190 is so cute wouldn't mind finding for one myself! (like I need another utility tractor!LOL) anyway glad you found the check wire unit looks great and will be interesting to see some "check row" planting great pics thanks again for posting cnt tom
 
Great lookin planter and tractor. Don't use the
planter if it's going to rain tho, lots of stories
of lightening chasing that wire across the field.
 
looks like you have it oiled up good ,always keep an eye out for chek wire ,about 10 years ago i saw chek wire at auction , havent seen any since ,,
 
Very nice. Until now, I've only seen photos of these in Case literature. I think I have a sales brochure showing one mounted unit on a Case SC. Always seemed to me that it would be a lot of extra work to plant with one of these.
 
The check wire has "knots" at set intervals (35,38 & 40" spacings were common but other spacings were available as well), There is an arm on the side of the planter that engages the wire. When the arm hits a knot it cause the valve in the seed shoot to open, dropping a pretermined (by what plate is in the planter) number of seeds in a hill. The resulting rows will line up both lengthwise and crossways (like an apple orchard) allowing the crop to be cultivated both lengthways and crossways. In the days before herbicides, most farmers would cultivate lengthways, crossways and again lengthways to obtain acceptable weed control.The secret to getting good results w/ the checkwire planter was keeping the wire tight....otherwise the crosspattern would have a curve to it. The driver would have to jump off at each end and move the stake over for the next pass. I can remember my Dad planting over 120 acres every year w/ a 2 row John Deere checkwire planter.
 
Bradley;
Thanks for sending me the stakes.
The stakes are hanging on a wagon in the shop.I was aiming to put them with the planter for the pics and got in to big of a hurry putting the planter up!!!I store it on a pallet rack in the shop.
The next time I get the planter out I will post pics of the stakes with the planter.
I plan to display the planter on a tractor with the stakes and a short section of wire running through the trip mechanism.I will definately post pics of the display.
I was surprized at the attenttion the planter got.
Nick
 
Nick; Maybe it is a good idea to keep the planter & the John Deere stakes separated....you don't want a fight to break out!!LOL. On a more serious note, there must have bee a bracket or such for the stakes to ride in when not in use.
