Oh boy, it's been a long time since I had the 58, which is about like a 56. I put many thousands of acres through it and it was a six row narrow.
What comes to mind is wear of bevel gears and the hex shafts. The hex center of the bevel gears wears and the teeth wear thin. I had a few hex shafts on the row units twist off at a cotter pin hole so check those shafts going back to the units for cracks at the holes the cotter pins go through at, if my memory serves me right, the bevel gears. I think there's a cotter and a few shims at the bevel gears. If the planter has been properly serviced those cotter pins and shims will be caked in grease. It's pretty hard to check the clutch, but the clutch mating surfaces should be square and not worn rounded.

Probably every moving part will a little loose and worn but those old girls can still plant pretty well when they're worn.
