I'm currently helping a family clean out an estate of a 95 year old farmer and we uncovered this piece today. It's an early and very nice example of a Springfield Seeding Machine from Springfield Ohio. I'm not sure of the age, but I would guess this thing to be about 100 years old. I think Springfield Seeding eventually got bought out by Oliver.
The piece has a great stencil of the company name on the box on top, both wooden spoke wheels are in great shape and it appears all the discs and other parts are there. This thing has probably been sitting in the barn for 50 years or more. The family realizes this piece has some value, but does not need full retail for it. The piece is located in southern Michigan and would need to be picked up within a month as the house and farm are for sale. If there is no interest in this forum it will be placed out for sale with the other items at next weekends estate sale. We are just trying to get it to someone who could/would restore and enjoy it. If you have an interest in it please give me a shout back. Thanks, Greg

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
