Study this manual carefully. Keep it handy, in a
safe place, for future reference.
IMPORTANT Proper lubrication is required to keep
your plan ter in good working condition and to
guard aga inst excessive wear, breakage, or hard
driving. See page 23 for Lubrication

OP ER ATIO N PREPARING THE TRACTOR
The tractor must be equipped with an 8-inch
stroke hydraulic re- mote cylinder that
conforms to ASAE-SAE standards. On John Deere
Tractors, place the drawbar in the short setting
and bolt it in the center position.
On adjustable tread tractors set the rear
wheels, center to center of tread, and equal
distance from center line of tractor as follows

MARKERS
The planter is assembled for 40- inch row
widths. To change the row widths to 38 or 36
inches, loosen the shanks and pressure spring
brack- ets and move them to the desired setting,
as illustrated, on rear main frame and rear sill
bar. The shank will then line up with the
correct " holes in the front sill bar.
Reinstall and tighten all bolts. The planter
wheels are adjustable Loosen the four set screws
on each wheel and position wheels wide for 40
inch ro\vG, narrow for 36-inch rows and in
the center of the wheel arms for 38-inch rows.
Tighten set screws after adjusting wheels.
CLAMP
Set the disk-type markers, on the
marker arms, to correspond to the
row width setting. For 40-inch rows, set the
marker disk 100 inches from the outside runner
for 38-inch rows, 9S inches, and for 36-inch
rows, 90 inches.

When using the 40 7 Planter to plant cotton,
remove the corn cut-off from the hopper by
unscrewing the thumb screw which holds it in
place. Place the false ring in hopper with the
raised side up. Install the cotton spider and
hold it in place with the thumb screw. The hole
in the cotton spider is off to one side of center
and lines up with the thumb screw hole in the
hopper bot- tom. The drive lugs on the cotton
spider must engage the drive notches on the
hopper bottom. The quantity of cotton planted is
regulated by the cotton gate. To in- crease the
quantity of seed planted, turn the thumb nut to
the right which will open the cotton gate. To
de- crease the quantlty of seed planted, turn
the thumb nut to the left.

Remove the cotton spider.
Install false ring with raised side up when
planting small seed such as feterita, sorghum,
etc. If corn or other large seeds are to be
planted, install the false ring with flat
side P- NOTE Some seed plates require special
Jalse rings. See seed plate chat 1, pages 8 and
9. Install seed plate.
Install corn cut-off and fasten in place with
the thumb screw. The cut-off must fit tightly
against the false ring.

drives the cotton spider at its fastest speed.
The amount of cotton planted is regulated by the
cotton gate. Open the gate, by turning the thumb
nut to the right, to increase the quantity of
seed planted. Close the gate, by turning the
thumb nut to the left, to decrease the
quantity of seed planted.
There are three sprockets, 7- 13 and 15 -tooth,
on the differential shaft and three sprockets,
6-, 10-, and 14- tooth, on the drill
shaft. Combinations of these sprockets
The raised side of the false ring must be up
when planting cotton.

SEED PLATES The selection of the seed plates is
one of the most important steps in preparing the
planter for the field. There is a great variety
of John Deere seed plates available in vafi- ous
cell sizes and number of cells. Growing
conditions change from year to year, and the
size of the seed will also vary. Therefore, it is
quite likely that different seed plates are
required to plant the same variety of seed from
year to year. There are two ways to select seed
plates. One is to follow the recom- mendation of
the seed supplier, if available, and the other
is to take a sample of the seed to be planted to
a John Deere dealer and let him rec- ommend the
seed plates. The following is a list of the most
poular corn plates available with 12-, 16-,
and 24-cells

HITCHING AND TRANS- PORTING PLANTER
Whe n transpor ting the planter on a public
road at night, or during other periods of poor
visibility, use a warning lamp in socket provided
on the extreme left-hand side of the planter.
Hang a red flag prominently on the rear of the
planter when transporting during the
day. CAUTION Place a sup- port under the
rear of planter mairt brarrie be- No re d eta
ch i Mtg tra ctoz wh en planter is equipped with
a dry fertiIizer a ttach ment. This will prevent
plan ter hitch from sud- denly raising and
causing injury to the operator.

Back up tractor to planter and pin clevis to
tractor drawbar. Attach hydraulic remote cylinder
to planter and place hydraulic hoses in hose
support. Extend the hydraulic remote cyl- inder.
Remove transport pin and place in position
A. The planter can be transported, or stored
in raised position, with cylinder removed,
when transport pin is in position B, as
illustrated.
LEYELING THE PLANTER The planter frame should be
ad- justed to run level when operating in the
field.
When transporting the planter, place the
marker arms in the marker arm brackets. Remove
the marker arms from the marker arm brackets
before oper- ating the planter.
Shorten the leveling screw (turn clockwise) to
lower the front of the planter. Lengthen the
leveling screw (turn counter-clockwise) to raise
the front of the planter.

MARKER CONTROL
DIS FLiRRO OPENER
The markers are automatically lowered or
raised when the planter is lowered or raised.
However, the position of the marker control
handle determines which marker will be released
\vhen the planter is lowered.
SHAN K
RK
OPENE
The depth of planting is deter- mined by the
position of the disk furrow openers on the
Ghanks. Lowering the disk furrow openers on the
shanks will give shallower planting, and
raising them will give deeper planting. Remove
bolt A,' to make this adjustment. After
raising or lowering the disk furrow openers,
replace the bolt in the new position and tighten
securely. If the disk furrow openers are
moved up or down on the shanks, it will be
necessary to reposition the stop on the
hydraulic remote cylin- der to maintain the
desired furrow depth. NOTE When a di p
fertilizer attachment is used, the deliver tube
holders on the press wheel Jrames must be turned
down alien the disk furious openers are set Ion
on ltte shank and twned up when the disk furrow
openers are set high on the Thank.
To lower the left-hand marker, turn the
control handle to the ri h . To lower the
right-hand marker, turn the control handle to
the left.
DEPTH OF FURROW
AND PLANTING Use the hydraulic remote cylinder to
gauge the depth of the furrow. When the desired
depth is reached, position the stop on the
cylinder to maintain this depth.
