Plate was a possibility so check that, tho I've only ever seen one in my time..... Finger pickup for corn, cups for beans was the common way. There are add-on better bean meter deals that will be more accurate with beans, might find them on a planter - about $50-75 a row seems to be the going rate for these bean meters at an auction. Lift the seed depth wheels (covering the disk openers) and wobble them. If they wobble, you will be spending up to $120 a row for new bearings. Can not have loose depth wheels, plugs up dirt. Check the rest of the closing wheels, disk openers, chains etc for wear, wobble, etc. The bean cups are simple, be sure you get them. Corn meters cost $75 each to repair, and you kinda gotta assume yours are about in the same shape as the rest of the planter & will need to rebuild them sooner or later. Only good way to know is to put them on a meter & have them tested. Mice liked to live inside the main tube frame & foul the internal metal hyd marker tube on the right side, rust it through and/or block the control valving. Not a big deal, but something to watch for as you own it. Herbicide, insecticide, fert, & monitor are good to have. --->Paul
