[AT] Looking for planter parts

[Len Rugen]

This is the broken one: New photo by Len Rugen The unit pivoted around these bolts when it hit the stump, there is more broken below, but that picture was blurred.  I think this case piece goes all they down into the runner.  I thought about taking it off until I went outside, it's still hot. :-)

Also I have access to two different locations that have over 100,000 NOS Parts that have been retrieved from dealers obsolete stock.  If part numbers can be provided I could see if there are NOS stock parts available.  Another option is to go to your local dealer and ask them to do a nationwide dealer search to see if any dealer still has that part in stock.

I wish I could help you. The usual comments are pertinent: Older 
machinery that is sized for smaller operations is getting harder to find 
and parts when available are more and more expensive....

I would hope that contacting used machinery brokers and salesmen from 
the dealers would help you line up what you need, that is an often 
useful path for me when I encounter things like this. Be thankful that 
you are not using a shop-built unit like our main small seed vegetable 
planter that needs us to repair it whenver there is a failure....

I was planting for the first time in some cleared land and hit a stump breaking the cast part of one of the row units.  I'm looking for an organ donor or left overs when a planter is cut down to fewer rows.  I've found some $400 range used planters, but they are over 100 miles away.  I'm in the middle of Missouri.
