bermillion iron works grain drill

You're welcome.

There is a lever on the right side near the chain guard that engages a spring loaded "clutch".

This will engage/disengage the chain idler sprocket that drives the agitator.

You might need to "secure" it with a flexible adaptor (bailing wire) to disengage.

Hope this helps.

We bought a 1950’s Brillion Sure Stand Seeder (cultipacker) to “pack” in all our Cheyenne grass seed for the hay crop.

Since the seed was so small, we were unable to use it as a “seeder”.

I was lucky enough to buy a Brillion Sure Stand Seeder operator’s/parts manual on eBay.

I called Brillion Iron Works Farm Equipment Sales Dept. Phone: 800-409-9749 ext 665 and got information on a local wholesaler in Waco, TX.

Contacted the wholesaler and gave the serial number; they said their records did not go back that far.

They were able to cross-list “ancient” part numbers with “current” part numbers and sent me a current parts list.

Since the wholesaler could not “sell” directly to me, the parts were sold through my local New Holland dealer.

I was able to get all the parts (bearings, felt, end caps, arm) that were needed.

Hope this helps.
