Old Planters

I dug 2 of these old planters out of the junk pile I inherited when we bought this place 3 yrs ago. In my neighbors junk pile I found a complete unit all intact with two planters mounted and complete wheel and chain drive. These were mfg by the same company. I'm guessing they were mfg in the 20's or 30's.
I'm very carefully enlarging the holes in this plate to get corn to flow thru evenly. Getting closer each try. Hooked up a quick and dirty way to pull it behind a riding mower. If I can get it to work I'll revise the hitch on this one and pull the dual unit with the tractor after I get some original plates or modify the ones in it.

Question is, does anyone know what brand this might be, and how in the world would I find some original corn plates.

Bottom line, this is a big bunch of fun!

No idea of the brand. Thanks for sharing the pics though. It looks like playing around with those old things could be fun! :thumb:
