[AT] Looking for planter parts

[Grant Brians]

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.
