JD 7000 planter question

Jake Collie · Dec 14, 2017

I found my serial number, thank you. It is 119802 which makes it a 1982 model I believe. I am attaching a picture that shows the front square tube is welded. It is welded on both sides- it almost looks like it was added on to. The top square tube (7" x 7"?) is also welded in the same place on both sides. Does anyone have an idea why this would be welded in these places?

Maybe to change the frame of a narrow row to wide row? Dad had that done on the White no-till planter he bought in the 80s. It was a 6 X 30 and he wanted 6 X 36, so the dealer added to the frame to get the sale.

What size planter is yours??? 4x38, 6x30,4x30, etc.????

6 x 30 Maybe this was a 4 row wide made into a 6 row narrow?

Gotta love structural butt welds. Nothing stronger. Unless there is an internal sleeve. Don't see any signs of one.

Try replacing that worn out furrow opener with a 13 wave yetter.About 14 inch diameter. True no til eith that and double HD down springs.
