Cub Mounted David Bradley Planter
This planter originally came from Winfield Dave's family. He wanted it to go somewhere where it would be used. It surely is used again here. Dave's dad had modified it with a pipe fitting to act as a standard, it's threaded on the top with a large nut to hold it at the right depth to tighten the clamp, the back bar clamps exactly up to the rear toolbar of the 252. I disassembled the whole thing and put it into the electrolosis tank and gave it a good rub down. It was primed, painted (International Federal Yellow), reassembled, and properly lubed. When I got it from Dave it also included the original seed plates in the original box with the instructions for setting the drive gears.
I planted an acre of sweet corn, half an acre of rattlesnake beans, and a quarter acre of cucumbers with it last Spring.
It worked well on the flats, but I'm going to work on making it so it can "float" in the way it attaches and that should make it even better.
I've aquired from Dale Shaw another of these units via Cub express, I was hoping to make a two row set up, but I think that it will be a parts unit.

That is a great job! I love seeing inventive ways to solve problems.
Cool planter and nice job fixing it up!
By the way, how is the spacing? I assume it is adjustable with the different sprockets you have.

These planters were also sold under the Sears and Wheel Horse name and were also available with an optional fertilizer attachment. They are pretty good little planters! Nice set up!

Spacing is very adjustable with two sprockets on two differnt axles, all you need to do is pull a cotter pin and slide the sprockets off and flip them around for different configurations. I was lucky and the sheet that tells you what disc to use for what crop and then it tells you the various spacings you can use and how to flip the drive sprockets accordingly.
I forgot to mention I planted a large patch of lettuce with it as well, so it handled everything from sweet corn to lettuce and did a nice job.

They really do a nice job. The one I got from Dale has the fertilizer attachment in good shape. But I've yet to work on that project.

Re: Cub Mounted David Bradley Planter
I know this is an old post but figured I would ask anyway. Does anyone know where I could get the seed plates for the David Bradley seed planter?
Thanks, Kirk

Re: Cub Mounted David Bradley Planter
They come up on E-bay occassionally, but are pricey. I'd search craigslist for "Sears Seeder" or Sears planter or even Sears Suburban that have "other attachments".
What plates are you looking for ? I might have a couple to spare depending on what they were.

Re: Cub Mounted David Bradley Planter
I don't think I'm going to fool with it now. I listed it in the want ad section. Might be a good project for the cub but I'd like to look around for a fast hitch planter even though I know they're hard the find.

Re: Cub Mounted David Bradley Planter
I found this old post here, I have a planter just like this except mine is a.sears model. Is the belly mount better or would a rear mount work better? Also was a "float" for this ever made?

Them two holed ears on the front of the planter frame might work for a spring and a floating thru rod to float that end.

Re: Cub Mounted David Bradley Planter
That is So neat! Farmalls forever cause they made so much sense while making so much crops and food for millions ..but everybody knows that.
I didn't at first. I thought having the steering shaft directly in line with the steering box made sense. Decades after, it still makes sense to have a view of the attachments working and the hot engine set aside. People don't know to their peril because nice Farmalls are seeming to be cheap around here. The newer folks want a big lawnmower which looks cool. A big impressive tractor with all the options of maybe planting later. Good for them but they can't see what they're doing. Not the same.

Yes sir! These newer utility tractors may be handy, fancy, "affordable" but can't beat that adaptability of these old.cubs. about anything can be adapted to these tractors so easily. And they will last much much longer and can about always be fixed. I retired my 6 year old crapsman to let one of my 70 year old cubs handle the work of.mowing. then retired my 20 year old tiller to let the other 70 year old cub handle.the garden.
