I’m a sucker for old school pieces of equipment. I purchased this Ford 309 planter from a member here a couple weeks ago.


I decided to go ahead and redo it before we start planting. Plus it gives me a better idea as to how it works by taking it apart and rebuilding it.

I started yesterday by taking the planter units off and sand blasting, check/change bearings and repaint. The fertilizer assembly is corroded and will take a little time. Here’s some pics so far







Both kids are running around the shop, playing in the creek and smashing rocks. It’s a good day boys. Just wish my grandfather was around to see it.
