Alright boys, how do I translate this? Not really sure what it means! Top left corner says # per bu (i think bu is bushel right)

Here is another picture of the drill.

Also, on the back of the seed box, there are two arms that are adjustable, with numbers, which are represented in the chart above, both arms are at 35, but when you look inside the drill one set of feeder gears is about half way open, and the other is nearly all the way open? Sooo, what is wrong? I am assuming that something inside one of the arms is stripped/hogged out, but which one is right and which is wrong?!?! Here are some pictures of those too. Thanks for the info Case Nutty, and Adirondack case guy! Bryce

I set mine the width of my thumb gave me a place to start come out to 2 1/2 bushel can adjust from there.
 
the "Notches" #'s is where you set the feed cup levers, as for them being set differently several things can cause this, something worn/broken like you said, you can also loosen the feed cups and they will slide a bit for adjustment, you will have to clean the adjusting slots more than likely, look at the feed gears I have seen people hit them when they are stuck, cast does not like to be hit! the pre bu means bushel per acre planted, hope this answered some of your question, I do have a OPS for this model drill I can maybe scan what you need
 
Oh okay! That kind of makes sense! I would love anything that you might have to offer that would help with the use of this machine. I am planning on putting it to work as soon as I find some property! I will continue to mess with it, and get it cleaned up this winter, hopefully by spring it will be working nicely! Bryce
 
years ago, we had on old Van Bruen drill, my little brother was riding on the board behind and looking over to see the feed cups, one had trash in it, he stuck his finger in it to clean it, took the end off clean as a whistle. He still sport a nub.
 
Let's take the oats example.
Oats weigh 32 lbs per bushel.
You want to plant 2 bu per acre.
That means you must plant 64 lbs per acre (32X2=64)
Using the oat line, find 64 lbs on the chart, look up to the top for the setting number and set the notch lever to that number.
This should get you a decent starting adjustment.
You will have to tweak it a bit to allow for slippery oats, big/small seed, feed flute wear, etc.


Look for something bent or the lever is out of its groove.

35 is nearer the upper limit, right? As a pure guess, the seed flutes with the most exposed is correct. Guessing that the 25 range should be about 1/2. (from your chart)
 
Well, I have been working on the adjusting levers all morning, and have come to a conclusion for both of them.

Due to wear and tear, the numbers where the lever lines up does NOT mean that is where the seed feeder gears are! I can move BOTH of the levers, and they will max out the gears either way, so that you can have any where from 1/2 the gear and 1/2 the shaft showing up to all of the gear, and none of the shaft.

They have little arms on the end of the shafts, that way you can not move them to far, and I am able to easily move both shafts to their farthest position in both directions, so I will just have to wing it! by looking at the gears! Bryce
 
Find which side you trust and go from there. Drills like that are not an exact science by any means. The best thing you can do is find the sweet spot for what you are drilling and measure to make both sides the same. When I drill in milo I carry a quarter in my pocket. I set the 750 so that a quarter width of gear is showing and go with it. It usually ends up being a click or two different from side to side but the gear width matches.

I would liberally coat everything there in ATF and let her set in the shed for a while. Then wire brush what you can. I would be very tempted to buy a few bags of cat litter and "plant"them. It will help clean that up and give you a feeling for the drill. You can adjust settings and check things out a good bit. The other option is that pelletized bedding stuff. It isn't as abrasive to clean things up, but it is more uniform to check your spacing.
 
If you pushed the lever forward to make a setting, and want to reduce it, pull it back farther than your desired new setting, and advance it to where you want it. That eliminates slop in the adjuster.
