[Farmall] Seed Plate Drive

Al,
I think Richard has gotten past the step of removing the sprocket and is 
trying to get the plate drive shaft off.  It is held with a cap screw about 
the same way the Cub sprocket is held on.

Richard,
Removing the cap screw won't cause any other problems.  What I don't 
remember off the to top of my head is what you need to reinstall if you are 
going to use the tractor without the drive.  Seems like you need to 
reinstall the cap screw with a washer of some sort, and install a cover in 
place of the drive.  The cap screw is about 3/8 x 3/4.
