This summer I bought a 1966 Sears Suburban Carden Tractor 12 Hp. It has manual 3 point.

I am concidering buying a Sears seeder & fertilizer I have found via the net. The attacment is back east . I'm in WA. My question is : The model number is 597.400 and the serial # is 17349. The present owner doesn't have a manual. He says he has one seed disk. I found a manual for a seeder model number 917.262980 &917.252380. The manual discusses a pocket seeder disc. Different ones are needed for different seeds etc. Does any one know anything about either attachmnet ? are they so similiar that the parts can be interchanged? Any information will be helpful . Are the discs simple enough that new ones can be made in a farm shop?

I posted this same question on the garden tractor forum but have yet to receive a reply.

I have just traded for a seeder as you describe.It seems to be in good shape but did not come with any plates. I was wanting to know if you found any plates for your planter. Mine is made by Sears and is 3pt hitch. I can not find any info. on the Brinley Co. that was mentioned. Any help you could give will be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Brad

After Jerry & I worked on this, we found that the Cole Planter Co. of NC has made field planters for Sears and Wheel Horse which is now Toro. Manuals are still available from Toro. Seed discs are available from Brinley and possibley toro. The difference in all these models is the method of connecting the planter to the garden tractor. Sears had a model with a 3 point and a sleeve hitch. Wheel Horse uses a hindged plate. Just the final outcome of this effort. Thank Jerry for most of the research.

Do you have a picture. There was one made for Wheel Horse that might be very similar. Think it was made by Brinley. If so then you might have several places to look for plates.

I sent a picture of seeder to you. It has a box for the seed, a large wheel used for ground driven power, two chains; one for seeder, one for fertilizer, and lastly a fertilizer box.
