I'm going to plant a new pasture and wanted to use my model 64 drill. The previous owner thought he might have a manual but can't find it, I should have just ordered one earlier.
It has the grass boxes, not sure if all of them did or just some. The drop tubes from the main box are in pretty good shape, but the ones from the grass boxes are gone. Will flexible plastic tube be okay to use there?
I'm planting an orchard, timothy, brome and aliske clover blend with oats for cover. What seed should I put in which box? I was figuring on putting the seeds together depending on size and seeding rate.

So the oats and larger seeds go in the small boxes on the back? I was totally backwards on that. The seed chart is still legible on the inside of the lid, I can use that for my settings.
One more thing I thought of, on the grain box there are small plates that cover half of the hole the seed goes down(if I'd gotten that manual I'd know what that was called) do those plates need to be in place or should they be removed?
I'll be ordering the manual ASAP, thanks for your help.

On the 64 the small seeds like timothy, alfalfa, clover etc go in the small box in the back. Brome goes in with the oats in the large or front box. The covers for half the holes in the large box are for high rate/low rate. I think left side is low if I remember correctly.

the small box is for the small seds some of them were on the front the plates regulate the flow rate
