Don- The diamond logo and the "Allis Chalmers" should be readily available from Lyle Wacker or another similar source. The All-Crop Drill decal needs to be custom made. I've had alot of such decals made at a local auto graphics design shop at reasonable rates (less than $50 depending on complexity, colors, size, etc.). With computers, it should be pretty easy for a shop like that to take a picture and make the decal. PM me if you need more info, or a better photo shot.

Thanks Kyle, thats what I wanted to know. I have a local sign guy that I think can make up some "All Crop Drill" decals when I need em.
Here are some pics from today. Really cool, I spent the afternoon with my dad and grandpa, drilling oats and wheat just to use the drill. Great fathers day!!

The seed feeders look like a dark green color. Also the front disk bar, and all the disk look like the original color was dark blue. Is that right?

Haha, thanks again John!
I told my dad the other day, "See, that was not a bad buy at all, AND it worked great for what we drilled!" He thought so too! At the time I bought em', I think he might have thought I was crazy!
Heres a couple pics, planting with the WD. Rye for the deer..

You really lucked out by getting the special wheel bolts that the wheel driven sprocket bolts to. You remove 4 regular wheel bolts and install the 4 bolts in their place. When you want to use the drill the sprocket just bolts into the ends of the special bolts. I have tried to get these bolts for my drill but they are no longer available and just never show up anywhere. There is an adjustable stop that attaches to the hydraulic lever quadrant that keeps you from lowering/dropping the drill too fast; very needed item.

Why did most all grain drills have an odd number of openings?

Dave, I may have an extra set of the special bolts to mount the sprocket. If I remember correctly, I got a set on a tractor that I bought and also got a set on a sprocket that I purchased to us with my 11 hole drill. The sprocket was missing when I got it, but what do you want for $30.00. let me look around. Bob

Don, can you measure one of your drills, back to end of the sc tongue. I am picking one upon Sunday and it will be loaded in the back of a full size pickup. I just want to know if it will fit.
Thanks Leonard
