New toy

[Brute 23]

My new-to-me toy Its only an 8'. I need to get a couple more pics up so some of yall can show me how to fix the deal to lift it... or how to put a hydraulic cylinder on it. It works but you have to get out and manually flip this little deal. It acts like there is a spring or some thing missing.

That little ear between the chain and the notched piece. You have to move flip it up and down by hand for it to turn that drum deal and lift.

There should be a rope attached to a long lever up in front of the seed box. Pull it once and it drops, pull it again and it raises. If not you need to take apart that round clutch type deal that has the notch in it. May be a broken dog or spring or it could be just so packed with grease that it can't work properly. Those old JD-Van Brunts are really good drills. Yours looks like it has the horn type open seed depositers (Model FB-A). If so it will only do a decent job in a prepared seed bed. If you can find a "B" model it has a double disk opener and will work well in a prepared seed bed or in grass like pastures etc.

I ended up with Bob Oats. My usuall place was out and that was all the next closest had.

It going to be interesting this year. I slung out jumbo rye with a fert buggy when I put fert out. Didn't know if I got a good cover so I drilled oats back across it to be sure.
