Farmall 140 Fertilizer/Planter Setup 

Great video Joe! You mentioned you had the crooked rod that runs from the right rockshaft arm down to the hitch bail. My 140 came with one and it's the only one like it I've ever seen. One thing I've been doing for years is using burnt motor oil to coat the bottom of my hopper. I used to paint it on with an old paint brush after I finished using the hopper. Now I have a plastic tub with burnt motor oil in it. When I'm done using my hopper for the year, I scrape out all the fertilizer with an old screw driver and wash it out good. When it dries off, I set it in the tub of burnt motor oil. About a month before I will use it next spring, I take it out and let all the oil drain off of it. I'm still using the original hopper that came with the tractor when daddy bought it in 1976. It still has the same plate that came with it. Whatever you do, when your done with it, CLEAN IT AND OIL IT!

I’m doing a “relook” at some of your videos, possibly all. I continue to pick up on “stuff” as I actually get my hands on my own stuff. Only one of my tractors has the fertilizer set up. A couple different planters that seem different than IH = no idea how to use them at this point. Joey you know I purchase any and all of the cast off for the Cult A Vision tractors. Might prove useful some day. Thanks again for sharing. Stan

A friend of mine just planted all his corn with a old cole duplex planter. Half throttle first gear on his 140 put out a seed or two about every foot. I'm about to try my fertilizer setup for the first time on my super A. Thanks for the videos!

One turn of the press wheel is about 4 feet of travel. So put seed in the hopper and turn the press wheel once and see how many seeds come out. 4 seeds = 12 inch spacing. 6 seeds = 8 inch spacing.

I sure envy both the fertilize setup and the planter. On the lookout for some.

Here it is. Will have to come back later today to watch! Already gave you a thumbs up.

An "after the fact" comment. Joey you have no idea as to just how much a newbie like myself learns from each of your videos. Might be "old hat" to a guy that grew up farming, but to me it is all great stuff. I have so much to learn, just not enough time I suspect. Fun stuff IMO. I am glad your subscribers are picking up, takes awhile I suppose. Thanks again from "Bubba North".

Thanks for doing this set video. These are the kinds of things I need to learn.

Good video Mr. Joe. Hopefully it wont get too bad cold. Its 70 right now in my corner of Alabama. But in the morning its supposed to be 40.

Hopper drive chain rides on the closed side with the join facing forward.

Duffield Equipment in Williamsport, MD sells whatcha need for the Hopper.

I see in this video, you have what lookis like a "skid plate" on your 184 planter. In soft dirt, my 184 planter plamtes too deep . do you know where i can get that skid plate and angle runners. Thanks Great video

Mr joe you should start living streaming like while your planting or just to talk!

Yeah I put it on the close side also, would like to know if that's right.

Grind the hopper to fit the IH base.

There are different style drives you might have the wrong style repo to fit your fertilizer mount

Sell that hopper. I’m with you I would grind that base just to make that one hopper work. Or I would try and find a international hopper base plate that fit and switch them.

👍👍

I have a couple of them reproduction hoppers and I had to modify all of them to fit because they want a perfect match to a true Ih hopper

I looked at this video I have the same problem as you have with the repo fertilizer distributor , rear lip will not seat and hopper is tilted. I have old international will rebuild . Repo will not fit

Those Chinese put that locking bolt in the wung way I bought one for my 182 planter frame making a bow bolt is possible, if u do grind that Chinese cut a slite bevel so it draws tite at long pin bolt.

Could you not grind the bottom of the aftermarket hopper to make it fit?

There is no link ??
