I have been reading in my book for the JD 450 drill I got, and I honestly can't figure out what I am doing. Hopefully someone can explain this stuff to me?
I have the fertilizer figured out. I found the Density per Cu. Foot, and worked the equation that then tells me what gear box setting to set it at. Got that figured it.
Seeds are a problem though. First of all, what is the difference between "Large side of feed wheel" and "Small side of feed wheel" ? I have 7.5" drill spacing, I know that! Also, when you look at the chart (pictures included) Under Barley, it shows "12 - 14 - 16" across the top row, with 3 different values for "Lb's Per Acre" below. No where here do I see WHERE to set the lever for how many seeds I want to put on?
Next, it looks to me like per the chart, I need to go to Double Speed in order to put on 100 lbs of barley per acre, it says in the book that if I reverse two of the gears in the left side cover, it will be in double speed. There are charts for the fertilizer being in Double speed as well, but that isn't necessary to put on what I want, however I can still do what I want in double speed, so this question is, IF I change those two gears around and go to double speed on the seed box, will that ALSO mean the drill is in double speed for the fertilizer box?

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.
