Parts for a JD B Drill

I have a JD / Van Brunt B grain drill with grass seeder. I would like to use the drill this spring to plant oats and red clover seed. The grain portion is in good shape, but the grass seeder is missing the small flexible tubes to allow placement of the seed in the disk openers or to broadcast. JD no longer supplies those small tubes, and I can only find universal replacements for the grain tubes at my local farm supply store. These rubber replacement tubes are much too large in diameter and too short to work on the grass seeder. Does anyone have an aftermarket source or know where used ones can be purchased? I need all 16 tubes for my drill (och!).

thanks

I might still try to find the tubes (or make something out of the garden hose) in case I want/need to plant grass with grain someday using the openers.

I would try to make my own out of clear plastic tubing.

Or, you can ask you Deere dealer to show you a plastic drop tube for a grass seeder off a 450 drill. I think it's the right diameter. It's long though, you'll probably be able to make a few out of it for the B.
