Talking Re: Van Brunt Six Foot Drill

Thanks Kent. You can see that this is very similar to my drill. Barring the grass seed attachment. Also has excellent wheels displayed.

I must thank you again on the topic of a manual. You gave me a tip and I followed up on it. Perhaps I may assist you somehow with this new information.

Paul

Kent i recently located a Van Brunt grain drill exactly like your picture here. great condition except the wheels are gone. I was told someone wanted the wood spoke wheels. Can you tell me the diameter of these wheels?

Thanks

Hi,
I have a drill like in the pictures and my wheels are 45.5 inchs in dia ( as best I can tell, mine aren't round any more) and 3 inchs wide. I'll try and sort out how to post a pic.
