[Farmall] Seed Plate Drive

[Richard Pope]

Jim, Al and Bobby:

Thank you all for your info.  Here is a photo of the part that I'm trying to 
remove:

This next photo is the final drive that I took off the tractor:

Perhaps it has a thick washer under that bolt that I can use on the new 
final drive and then I'll just use the cap also.

Thanks,

Richard
