seed tubes

[mitchmaine]

hey gang, my seed drops on the grain side of my oliver grain drill are fading fast. duct tape has prolonged their life a few summers, but the end is near. the ohio amish are using flexible heater hose wired up. but its hard to see if you get clogged up. wondering if any out there have parts or junk drills with good tubes you might want to part with. give us a holler. thanks, mitch

I recently restored a one horse drill and the tubes were shot. What I’ve ended up using is flexible sink drain tubing from the hardware store. It fit the cast seed drops and it flexes as the gangs are raised. They are white, so you can’t see through them, but they were cheap and functional. If you want to see the seed, maybe that clear poly tubing would work. Stu
