Got my hands on a new drill today, it was from a friend. It needs major repair, and they don't want to mess with it, no plans on using one anymore.
The short story is that a brush pile was lit, and a week or two later re-ignited and traveled, and burned a bunch of stuff on the drill on the right rear corner. He replaced the tire, but other than that, it needs help, bad.
I towed it to the JD dealer locally today, and they are going to look it over for me. My biggest question, is if there is a source for some used parts somewhere? We are unclear of the model at this point, but after a little hunting around, I am going to guess it is an 8300. It is 10 foot seeding width, 12 overall. Has a combined fertilizer / seed box, and small grass boxes on the front.
What I am looking for used are those rubber / plastic rollers that pack the ground after the seed as been put in? About 11 or 12 of them are completely melted and gone! I don't HAVE to replace them, but I am sure they are going to be very expensive new..... :/
