What LA said! Exactly. The manual will tell you whatplates are available. The seed dealer or the back of the bag of seed will tell you what plate you need for that bag of seed. If you notice an ear of corn, tiny seeds on the tip, big round fat ones on the heal of the ear, & medium flat kernals on the middle of the ear. Depending on how good the seed was sorted & bagged, you need a plate that is sized for that bag of corn. As mentioned, you can often adapt AC to JD plates. Most long-time JD ag dealers will have a rack of old plates upstairs in the tstorage room, I just went through this with an IHC planter, when I found the right older parts fella at the dealership, he brought down a rack of ~100 plastic plates, said $50 for the whole pile or $2.50 a plate. The younger parts guy was looking them up on the computer, think the price woulda been $15-20 each. Might want to check around, wait for the older looking fella at the desk.... Was at a ag junk dealer a week ago, got upstairs in one of their old buildings, had a few 1000 plates laying around, forget what his price per plate was, but cheap. --->Paul
