I bought an John Deere FB-A seed drill with a small grain seed box. The drop tubes for the small seed box are gone. My local deeler doesn"t stock the original short corrugated tubes but does stock 60" tubes to grop the seed behind the drill. I"m looking for the short tubes that drop the seed into the large seed box tubes. The subes taper from 1" ID to 1/2" OD. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Get,

You're talking about the smaller of the seed tubes, right? The ones for the 'grass seeder"?

If you're talking about the small grass seeder, don't worry about it, they didn't drop into the chutes anyway; just hung straight down, just laid it out there on top of the ground and the action of the planter put that seed under the required 1/4" or so of soil.

Or, maybe I'm thinking of the wrong tubes? The smaller of the seed boxes up front of the big grain boxes?

Allan, depending on what you were dropping with the seed box, you could have straight drop tubes like mine has, which are just short little flutes that scatter seed in front of the drill, or longer corrugated tubes that fit into holes in the main flutes to put seed in the furrow, or you could have long rubber hoses that dropped behind the openers to let the drag chains cover the seed. Somewhere out there is a small single-page guide that tells you what seed to drop which way, but I don"t have it with my drill or operator"s manual.
