Will get pictures tomorrow. Its in fergi grey but you can actually see Massey Ferguson. Looking to restore it but will need help as the fertilizer box is empty with a box full of parts. (told it was done to stop corrosion from the fertilizer).

Think they were like the old 29 drills and the plates in the bottom seized solid very quickly , if it was not all taken apart, cleaned and normally bathed in diesel, old oil etc. Filthy job , normally given to the boy

Its similar to that but 15 rows instead of 13 with fertilizer box and does not have discs hence looking to use for no till.

Here you go similar to a 732 but tine drill instead of disc.
Have already got a pair of fergi wheels to replace the non standard wheels.

Would the boy happen to know how to put them all back together again or has someone got a manual. Did anyone use the fertilizer box for other than fertilizer??.Think they were like the old 29 drills and the plates in the bottom seized solid very quickly , if it was not all taken apart, cleaned and normally bathed in diesel, old oil etc. Filthy job , normally given to the boy

to long ago
I expect I could work it out but you are sadly, long way away.
Seem to remember there was a long plate with holes in.
Then the distribution wheels were toothed and had a short shaft on the back which dropped in the plate
Think there must be pinions between each wheel , so each wheel turned the same way
then there was a little thing which sat in the wheel
good luck.
If you post pictures of the parts may remember more, but dont count on it

Coming back to this thread, I've been going through my new to me drill in preparation for harvest and found that I'm going to need some new bearings on the discs. Looking around it seems that Spaldings etc do a complete disc assembly with the disc, hub, bearing all together. However I only really need the bearing, all 31 of the discs have a good bit of life left.
Has anyone found the spec of the bearing required, that I could then ask for from a generic bearing supplier?

Regular occurance , get another bearing they're only a couple of quid off my head it's a 6206 .

I was going to say take one along to your local bearing supplier

Thanks @bobk I'll try that.
That was my next plan, however being stuck in an office during office hours makes these things a bit more tricky. I thought someone might have a bit of info to get me started. The fact you can just swap the bearing out without all the other bits was my main concern.
It's a 6204 , 2rs ( rubber sealed ) wasn't far out

Thanks, looks like about £6.25 each for SKF, so that's much better than I imagine the whole assembly would be.

Interesting, I got wrong number and he requoted at £4.55. Either order of Ebay and see what I get or for the extra pound each might be worth getting them from an actual place so I can try them first. Thanks for the help
