Planet Jr. No. 2 Seeder Pat 1887 1890 Working Condition

Description

Here's a right nice Planer Jr. No. 2 Seeder for your consideration, as pictured.
I purchased this at an estate auction in rural upstate New York. It had been in a run-down barn for decades. I think the previous owner was the original owner.
This seeder and component parts appears to be complete and in decent working condition.
It is missing the marker rod and marker attachment.
I removed the handles for shipping and
HANDLES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS LISTING
.
However
, if you have an interest in also purchasing the original handles and spreader bar, just let me know and I will create a listing, with photos, for them. I will put a very high price with best offer. If you offer me for them (plus postage), I will accept your offer. Otherwise, I will list them as a buy it now for . The original handles are painted green. They are weathered and checked but solid. I will include 2 of the 4 original handle attachment bolts. The other 2 were destroyed in the process of removing them.
The clearing-finger/opening-plow part on the front of the seeder has also been removed for shipping.
Please note the broken wing nut on the bolt that holds the finger/plow in place. I didn't break it. It was that way.
Also, you will notice an oil-like spot on the planter. That is Liquid Wrench penetrating oil that I used to loosen the wing nut. A whole lot more Liquid Wrench came out of the spray can than I expected. 😕
The two photos from old Planet Jr. catalogs show this No.2 seeder. The catalogs are not included in this listing.
This antique seeder is packaged and ready to ship right out by UPS Ground. Be sure to provide your street address for UPS shipping.
Thank you.
