The Moline drill has a high and low rate setup. Hi-Lo is determined by gear clusters at each rear corner of the drill. Located under a galvanized cover, with a spring held by a bolt. Loosen the bolt, interchange the two gears to set from hi to lo rate. Looking at the gears, size, location, etc., you can determine which drives the drill shaft fast or slow. High rate is used for small grains, low rate is used for soybeans. Starting settings? I"d guess at about 3/8 inch of exposed flutes, OUTSIDE of the seed cups. Alfalfa, on the grass seeder, about 1/4 inch exposed flute on the OUTSIDE of the seed cup. Set the acre meter to zero, put in a couple bushels of grain, grass seeder will hold one bushel of alfalfa. Plant one acre.....Three passes a quarter mile long with an 11 foot drill will be one acre (two rods). Refill to original depth, that shows your seeding rate. With any drill, when setting seeding rate, move the lever in an increasing direction. If reducing the rate, go back to zero, then move it forward. There is always slop in the linkage, so setting in one direction takes care of that. When finished seeding, flush everything with diesel fuel, after removing rubber seed tubes.

My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
