8 row Factory J.I.Case Planter PIC

Ande · May 24, 2017

After several years of looking, I finally found the planter my Dad ordered for himself (He was a J.I.Case dealer also) to use on the farm. From what the owner told me we thought he said your Dad really was changing things going that big in the early 70s for our area.
I guess its back in the family.
Might not look like much, but it sure made my buttons pop

Nice, let me know if you find another one!

jon f mn · May 24, 2017

WOW! What a find! I'm sure glad you were able to find that. Will you fix it up or keep it as is!

Ande · May 24, 2017

Jon, I'm not sure yet. My first thoughts it would sure look good behind the "1030" or "930" at shows, and the "1030" I have was on the farm the same time this planter was around. In fact thinking about this, I think the "1030" I have did plant with this planter. As back then it was set on 60"centers. I planted a lot of sunflowers with it.

Hey Dan
I'm so envious

The only one left
Thanks for the pic
Doug

Not quite the only one left....like I posted earlier I have a TC-68 also. Bought mine in pieces and put it together. Mine has dry fertilizer boxes and dry herbicide units on the rear of the planting units. Bought it in pieces in the late 70s.

Just a figure of speech
I know there are more out there but
You don't see them

Ande · May 24, 2017

Doug, I think what you meant is it is unique, and so is Steve's for sure also. As there isn't many of these left. Case made several different models of planters, Steve's and mine and the others out there like this are all unique.

You are correct Dan
I've been on the farm for 60 years
And I have never seen a case planter
In my area
You guys up north seen a lot more case
Equip then we did
That's the reason I'm trying to collect
Ji case equipment
It's different than the usual red and green down here

Back together

Doggone things are over 20" wide. Hard to transport down the road. Have the Albert City show coming up and Madison SD in the near future....might have to figure out a way to get some of my planters to the Madison show as it is 60 miles away.

Nice pics
Thanks for sharing
Doug

Ande · May 24, 2017

Enjoyed the pics Steve, I have wondered many times looking at them, as I have saved your pics on these how many are really left out there?
Also, this 8 row also had the individual fertilizer boxes on it also, but we never mounted them on, and they were stored away, I found out years later, after being in dark storage, they were taken out and thrown away!

You see very few of any Case planters anywhere, least I havent

1370rod · May 24, 2017

Nice find Dan, keep us informed if a rebuild happens. On a planter I would not know where to start but it would be a fun challenge. Rod.

Ande · May 28, 2017

Resized, so hope its better, and another view

jicaseman89 · May 29, 2017

I am jealous Dan i would really like a case planter to add to my small collection.
