I have inherited some rather old implements. One of which is a Montgomery Ward grain drill (some call it a seed drill).
Does anyone know what company REALLY made it so I can buy a repair manual to restore it and make it functional again. It looks very much like an Oliver Superior grain drill with metal wheels as tall as the entire device and 13 cutters (If I remember right).

Thanks in advance for anyone's assistance.

More info on this Montgomery Wards drill that I am looking for any additional info on, as to who the original manufacturer may have been.
**It is an 11-run (not 13 as I had previously mentioned).
**It appears most of the angle iron steel frame work below the grain boxes was RED.
**The wood grain boxes appear to have been Yellow with about a 1 inch wide red border( or pinstripe) around front and rear wood boxes.
**The steel Wheels appear to have been yellow also.
**The inside of the back wood grain boxes were green.
**Also seems that there was some green on top of the yellow but it is just visible where the lid overlaps the wood.
**The inside and most likely the outside of the grass seed box on the front appears was yellow.
**The top of the spiral seed tubes where the 3 boxes drop seed in to all appear to have been green.
**A lot of the part numbers are "D" with 3 numbers following.

I bought a Massey-Harris 20A parts book off ebay but the part numbers do not match up.

If anyone has any additional info I would greatly appreciate it.

I don't really know who made the implements for Montgomery Ward, but a lot of implements were sold through their mail order catalogs. i have a Montgomery wards wagon with a montgomery wards hoist and montgomery wards flair box that I am restoring. The box is done, but I have to paint the wagon and hoist yet. The mongomery ward flair boxes were varnished not painted. The wagon gear is like new. Pulled it home at 60mph and stayed behind me straight as an arrow. It takes a darn good JD #953 to do that.

Montgomery Ward sold the B F Avery brand of equipment thru there catalog in the 40's but I don't know if there ever was an Avery brand grain drill. The Tru-Draft colectors club may be able to help you out

D Camp, I can't help you with your question but I will give you the terminology. You would refer to the drill as a 13 run drill as there are thirteen seed spouts, the ground is broke open by discs, some of the old drills had single discs and some were double disc, usually a short chain with large rings was dragged behind each run to cover the seed. I have heard of this brand of drill but don't know who made them, good luck and let us know if you find out ....Mike in Exeter Ontario

Drills also came with hoe type openers.
